The Arabic-speaking community in Galway City includes long-settled medical families, postgraduate students from North Africa and the Gulf, and newer arrivals who sought protection in Ireland. Their documents come from many civil systems, often carrying ministry and embassy stamps, and some were issued in wartime or survive only as photographs. Several Arab countries do not issue apostilles, so legalisation through the issuing ministry and an embassy may be needed for some Irish uses.

Doctors trained in Sudan, Egypt or Iraq who join University Hospital Galway send the Medical Council a translated بكالوريوس الطب والجراحة, internship certificate and good-standing letter. Our translation describes every seal and signature in brackets.

When a separation or custody case at Galway Courthouse involves an Arabic عقد زواج or divorce certificate, the court needs it in English. We translate the contract, including the mahr terms. If a translator's affidavit is needed, check with your solicitor how it should be sworn in Galway.
شهادة بكالوريوس العلاج الطبيعي
Health professionals from Jordan, Egypt or Sudan hoping to join Galway University Hospitals as physiotherapists or radiographers apply to CORU. We translate the degree, transcript and professional licence, keeping credit hours and clinical placement totals exactly as listed.
شهادة خبرة
Across the Arab world, employers issue an experience certificate stating your post and years of service. Galway hospitals and medtech firms may use it to set grades and pay, so we translate the job title, dates and signatory exactly, including the company stamp.
شهادة ميلاد
Arabic-speaking Galway residents seeking naturalisation give ISD a translated birth certificate. We translate Syrian, Iraqi, Egyptian or Sudanese certificates field by field, including national ID numbers and any Hijri date, keeping names as spelled in your passport.
Many Arabic documents carry a foreign ministry stamp and an embassy stamp on the back, and Galway offices expect those in English too. Photograph both sides flat in good light. If you have Syrian family papers from a registry you can no longer reach, ask the Galway body what alternative evidence it takes before ordering.
