Portuguese speakers in Ennis are mostly Brazilian, with some families from Portugal, and some work around Shannon or in local care services. We translate certidões, diplomas and CNH licences into certified English for Irish registrars, colleges and insurers. Ennis clients pay €29.95 per page online and get a signed PDF by email, usually within 24 hours.
Census 2022 recorded 779 Portuguese speakers at home in Co. Clare; the number covers the whole county, not just Ennis.
Brazilian arrivals account for most of the growth in Portuguese in Ireland since 2016, and Clare has shared in it. For Ennis clients that means non-EU documents: certidões that may need an apostille for marriage notification, diplomas for CORU or NMBI, and school records for children joining Ennis schools. Portuguese citizens can sometimes use EU multilingual forms instead.

Brazilian nurses aiming to work at Ennis Hospital or elsewhere in UL Hospitals Group register with NMBI. We translate the Diploma de Graduação em Enfermagem and histórico escolar, including internship hours.
Brazilian and Portuguese applicants to TUS Ennis business or social care courses may need their school or college records in English. We translate the certificate and every grade line as printed.
Living outside Ennis often means driving, and insurers may want a translated Carteira Nacional de Habilitação. We translate the licence; whether it can be exchanged for an Irish one is a matter for NDLS.
A Brazilian partner giving notification to the Clare registrar may need an apostilled certidão de nascimento. We translate the certidão and its apostille so the HSE has a complete English version.
Declaração de vínculo empregatício
Brazilian aircraft technicians moving to Ennis for maintenance work at Shannon often need proof of their experience with Brazilian airlines or workshops. We translate the employer's declaração with dates, aircraft types and duties, keeping model names exactly as printed.
Certidão de Nascimento (online)
Portuguese partners marrying in Clare can order a birth certificate online from the Portuguese civil registry and receive an access code instead of paper. Send us the code or the printout; as an EU document, it may also come with the multilingual standard form.
Histórico Escolar
Brazilian students in Ennis applying to UL, TUS or Mary Immaculate College through the CAO need every year of secondary grades in English. Marks may be on a 0–10 or 0–100 scale, and we leave them exactly as the school issued them.
If you work shifts at Shannon, order translations well before any fixed date such as a Clare registrar appointment or a CORU deadline, since documents from Brazil may first need an apostille there. Portuguese certificates avoid that step. Upload photos of both sides of each page, because Brazilian certificates often carry stamps and averbações on the back.
