Galway City has the largest Polish-speaking community in the west, and its paperwork reaches University Hospital Galway, the University of Galway, ATU on the Dublin Road and the courthouse in Woodquay. We turn the odpis zupełny aktu urodzenia, świadectwo pracy, dyplom and wyrok rozwodowy into certified English with a signed statement, the date and our company stamp. Pricing is €29.95 per page, and one to three pages usually reach your inbox within 24 hours.
Census 2022 recorded 3,320 people in Galway City speaking Polish at home, the largest foreign-language group within the city council area.
Polish workers arrived in Galway in large numbers after 2004, first in construction, hotels and retail, later on medtech production lines, in healthcare and in firms of their own. Many now have teenagers in Galway secondary schools and third-level courses, so the documents they send us have shifted from job references to citizenship files, school transfers and property matters back in Poland. Some civil-status records travel with an EU multilingual form; most other Galway bodies still want English.

A nurse or midwife trained in Poland who takes a post at University Hospital Galway or Merlin Park registers with NMBI before starting. We translate the dyplom, the list of clinical placements and the zaświadczenie o prawie wykonywania zawodu, showing our phone, address and email.
School leavers educated partly in Poland sometimes apply to the University of Galway with a świadectwo dojrzałości in place of a Leaving Cert. Our translation keeps each subject, the basic or extended level and the percentage exactly as the Polish certificate prints them.
Custody or maintenance disputes heard at Galway Courthouse sometimes turn on a Polish marriage record or a divorce judgment with its klauzula prawomocności. We translate both documents for the court file. Ask your Galway solicitor how the translator's affidavit expected by court rules should be dealt with.
Polish partners giving marriage notification at the Shantalla Health Centre office bring a birth record and, if married before, the divorce judgment. Where no EU multilingual form is attached, the Galway registrar will expect a full English translation of each record.
Prawo wykonywania zawodu fizjoterapeuty
Polish physiotherapists hoping to work at Galway University Hospitals or in private clinics register with CORU. We translate the diploma, the study programme with hours of clinical practice, and the Krajowa Izba Fizjoterapeutów licence, stamped and signed with our contact details.
Prawo jazdy
A Polish licence is an EU card, but Galway insurers deciding on a no-claims discount often want a history from your Polish insurer in English. We translate that zaświadczenie o przebiegu ubezpieczenia, alongside the licence where a car hire firm asks for it.
Dyplom ukończenia studiów wyższych
Polish engineers and scientists applying to Medtronic, Boston Scientific or other Galway medtech firms are frequently asked to supply the degree in English. We translate the dyplom with its suplement, keeping each ECTS figure and a title like inżynier or magister.
If you are a Polish midwife or nurse moving to UHG with children, translate their school reports (świadectwa szkolne) at the same time as your registration papers, since Galway schools may ask for them on enrolment. Keep one spelling of each family name, with Polish letters such as ł and ż, on every order.
