Russian is a shared language for Galway City residents from Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, the Baltic states and Moldova. We translate the свидетельство о рождении, свидетельство о заключении брака, диплом о высшем образовании and трудовая книжка into certified English for Galway employers, universities and courts. Names are transliterated to match your passport. The price is €29.95 per page, and short Russian files usually come back within 24 hours.
Census 2022 counted 492 people in Galway City who speak Russian at home, limited to the city council area.
Russian speakers in Galway include researchers and software engineers, medical staff, spouses of Irish citizens and many who fled the war in Ukraine but speak Russian at home. Their certificates often date from the USSR or from newly independent states, with stamps in Russian and a national language side by side. Documents from Russia, Belarus or Kazakhstan may need an apostille from the issuing country for some formal Irish uses, marriage notification among them.

Scientists taking research posts at the University of Galway may need a кандидат наук diploma or a Soviet-era degree in English. We translate the degree, the specialisation and the awarding council's details in full.
A work record book lists every job, transfer and dismissal with stamps. Galway employers and the Department of Social Protection may need it in English, and we translate each entry with its dates in the original order.
Partners from Russia or Belarus marrying in Galway bring an apostilled birth certificate to the Civil Registration Service at Shantalla. We translate the certificate and apostille together, so the registrar receives one complete English file.
Doctors trained in Russian-speaking countries who join University Hospital Galway send the Medical Council their diploma, internship or ordinatura records and good-standing letter. Each page we translate carries our stamp and contact details.
Свидетельство о расторжении брака
A Russian speaker divorced in a ЗАГС or by a court and now marrying in Galway must show the Shantalla registrar the marriage is over. We translate the divorce certificate and, where needed, the court решение with the date it took legal effect.
Академическая справка
Students who left a Russian, Belarusian or Kazakh university before finishing receive an академическая справка listing completed subjects and hours. The University of Galway can use it to consider credit, so we translate every subject, hour count and grade.
Паспорт гражданина РФ (внутренний)
The Russian internal passport records marriages, divorces and children on its inner pages. Where a Galway body asks for proof of a name history and other certificates are missing, we translate the relevant pages, including each ЗАГС stamp.
Russian-speaking researchers at the University of Galway often hold a Russian diploma and a later degree in English; only the Russian pages need translating, which keeps the page count down. Use the passport spelling of your name and ask us to show any older transliteration, such as Iulia versus Yulia, in a translator's note.
