Louth has one of the largest Latvian communities in Ireland after Fingal, and many Latvian families came to Dundalk after EU enlargement. As those families age, our Dundalk work includes VSAA insurance statements for pensions, marriage and birth certificates for naturalisation, and occasionally Latvian property or inheritance papers for the Dundalk probate registry.

Graduates from Latvia applying for DkIT postgraduate courses send the bakalaura diploms and diploma pielikums. We translate course titles, credit points and grades, keeping the Latvian ten-point scale as printed.
If a Louth estate involves a Latvian mantojuma apliecība or property in Latvia, the Dundalk probate registry may need it in English. We translate the mantojuma apliecība in full. Ask your solicitor how any affidavit of translator should be sworn for the registry.
Dundalk employers in care, education and security may ask for a Latvian izziņa par sodāmību alongside Garda vetting. We translate it with the issue date and reference, usually the same or next day.
Latvian partners booking notification with the Dundalk civil registration office bring a birth certificate and, if divorced, the laulības šķiršanas apliecība. An EU multilingual form may cover it; if not, we translate both.
Atestāts par vispārējo vidējo izglītību
Latvian students entering DkIT from a Latvian school send the atestāts with its grade record and centralised exam results. School grades run from 1 to 10 while exam results appear as percentages, and we keep the two scales clearly separated.
Laulības šķiršanas apliecība
Latvians divorced by agreement before a notary hold a certificate from that notary rather than a court ruling. Before a new marriage notification in Dundalk, we translate it with the notary's registration details so the registrar can see the divorce is complete.
Darba devēja izziņa
Laboratory and production staff applying to plants around Dundalk may need proof of their Latvian work history. An employer's izziņa confirms role, dates and duties, and we carry over the firm's registration number so the recruiter can look it up.
Latvian surnames take different endings for men and women, for example Ozols and Ozola, and Latvian passports may also show an original-form spelling for a name from another language. Tell us which spelling appears on your IRP or other Irish documents, and keep it the same on forms for DkIT, the Dundalk registrar and your employer.
