Portuguese speakers in Co. Kilkenny include many Brazilians, along with people from Portugal, Angola and Mozambique. Certidão de nascimento, certidão de casamento, CNH driving licence or diploma de graduação: we translate them into certified English with every stamp and marginal note, at €29.95 per page. Orders of one to three pages normally come back within 24 hours, signed, dated and ready to submit.
Census 2022 shows 425 Portuguese speakers at home in Co. Kilkenny, almost level with the county's Lithuanian speakers.
Brazilians in the county include students, healthcare workers and partners of Irish and EU citizens, while Portuguese nationals arrive with EU free-movement rights. The difference matters for paperwork: a Portuguese certidão can come with an EU multilingual form, but a Brazilian certidão cannot, and for uses such as HSE marriage notification it may also need an apostille from Brazil before we translate it.

Brazilian nurses coming to St Luke's General Hospital register with NMBI, which wants a signed, stamped translation with the translator's contact details. We translate the diploma, the histórico escolar and the COREN registration certificate.
Brazilian partners give marriage notification with a recent certidão de nascimento, often the inteiro teor version, and sometimes proof of divorce. We translate each document and its apostille for the Kilkenny registrar.
Brazilian parents registering a birth in Kilkenny may be asked for their certidão de casamento in English. We translate it quickly so the birth can be registered with the Civil Registration Service on time.
Graduates in Kilkenny who want their Brazilian diploma recognised apply to QQI NARIC Ireland. We translate the diploma and histórico escolar with course hours so the comparison is accurate.
Certidão de Nascimento em Inteiro Teor
Brazilian residents of Kilkenny applying for naturalisation usually send the full-content birth certificate rather than the short card version. The inteiro teor reproduces the cartório's register entry, including marginal notes of later marriages or name changes, and we translate every annotation.
Carteira Nacional de Habilitação (CNH)
Brazilians settling around Kilkenny often drive on their CNH while arranging an Irish licence, and an insurer or car rental desk might want the licence in English. We translate the category letters, registration number and observações field, which can record conditions such as corrective lenses.
Histórico Escolar
Brazilian students in Kilkenny applying to SETU need the histórico escolar alongside the diploma, because it lists each subject, its workload in hours and the final grade. We translate the whole table, keeping the carga horária column that admissions staff use when judging credit.
Brazilian civil records are non-EU documents, so a Kilkenny registrar or the Department of Justice may expect the original to carry an apostille from Brazil. Ask the cartório in Brazil for the apostille first, then send us one scan showing the certidão and its apostille together; translating both in a single order avoids paying for a second job later.
