Dundalk's Spanish-speaking residents come from two systems. Spanish documents often carry EU multilingual forms, which can sometimes replace a translation, while papers from Latin America need full translation and sometimes an apostille. In Dundalk that means we see Spanish nursing and engineering degrees for employers, Latin American actas for marriage notification, and Spanish certificados de antecedentes penales for vetting.
