Dundalk's Chinese-speaking community is partly academic, drawn by DkIT's international programmes, and partly professional or family-based. Because China is outside the EU, many of their Irish applications need translated originals and, for some uses, an apostille. We see transcripts and degree verification reports for study and jobs, marriage certificates for spouses' paperwork and birth certificates for citizenship.

Hong Kong birth and marriage certificates are usually already bilingual in English and Chinese, so check with the Dundalk registrar or ISD whether any translation is needed before paying for one. Mainland documents are a different matter, since they have no English, and notarial certificates often run to several pages; send every page, including the notary's final certification sheet.
