Arabic speakers in Co. Kilkenny come from Syria, Iraq, Sudan, Egypt, Libya and North Africa, among other places. Their civil papers, from a شهادة ميلاد to a عقد زواج or a family register extract, are often handwritten or stamped in several places. We translate Arabic documents into certified English for €29.95 per page, with names transliterated consistently. One to three pages are normally emailed within 24 hours.
321 people in Co. Kilkenny speak Arabic at home, per Census 2022.
Arabic-speaking residents in the county include families granted international protection, health professionals and students. Their documents rarely follow one standard format, and the same surname can be spelt several ways in English, so consistency across a whole file matters. Because none of the issuing countries is in the EU, some Irish uses also ask for the original to be apostilled or legalised where it was issued.

Arabic-speaking doctors hoping to work at St Luke's General Hospital send the Medical Council their degree, internship certificate and good-standing letters. We translate every Arabic page, including the university seals and ministry attestations.
Refugees and people with subsidiary protection in Kilkenny who apply for naturalisation provide birth and marriage documents where they have them. We translate an إخراج قيد عائلي or marriage contract with every name transliterated the same way throughout.
Couples giving notice to the HSE registrar may need a birth certificate and a divorce certificate issued in an Arab country. We translate both, along with the legalisation or apostille stamps on the back.
Family law cases at Kilkenny Courthouse may rely on a Sharia court divorce, a custody ruling or a marriage contract. We translate the ruling or contract in full, seals included. Your solicitor can tell you whether a translator's affidavit is needed and how to handle it.
إخراج قيد عائلي
Syrian and Lebanese residents marrying in Co. Kilkenny often prove their civil status with an ikhraj qaid, the family register extract listing parents, spouses and children. The registrar needs it in English, and we translate every household member's entry together with the civil registry seal.

Kilkenny residents applying for naturalisation may be asked for police evidence from countries where they previously lived. Certificates from Egypt or Sudan carry an issue date that Irish bodies often check for age, so we recommend ordering the translation soon after the certificate arrives.
Arabic names can be romanised in several ways, so Mohammed on a passport may appear as Muhammad on a degree. Before sending papers to the Kilkenny registrar or the Department of Justice, tell us the passport spelling. Documents from countries outside the Apostille Convention, such as Syria, may also need consular legalisation where they were issued, so check what the Irish body wants first.
