Kilkenny's Urdu speakers include health professionals, small business owners and families joined by a spouse from Pakistan. Their paperwork is often bilingual, with key fields in English and the rest in Urdu, so a full translation keeps the Irish body from missing detail. Pakistani documents come from outside the EU, and some Irish uses ask for them to be apostilled in Pakistan first.

نکاح نامہ (Nikah Nama)
Kilkenny residents bringing a spouse from Pakistan include a translated Nikah Nama in the visa file. We translate every clause, mehr and witnesses included. As it is certified and signed within the EEA, ISD needs no apostille on it, only hard copies.
فیملی رجسٹریشن سرٹیفکیٹ (FRC)
A NADRA Family Registration Certificate lists parents, spouse and children on one record. Kilkenny residents applying for naturalisation or registering a child often use it to show family relationships, and we translate any Urdu entries even where the headings already appear in English.

When a parent dies in Pakistan, relatives in Kilkenny may need the union council death certificate for an insurer, an employer's leave record or an Irish estate. We translate any handwritten Urdu fields, the union council stamp and the computerised reference number.
Many Pakistani certificates combine English printing with handwritten Urdu, and it is the Urdu parts that need translating, so scan both sides of every page. Pakistan joined the Apostille Convention in 2023; if a Kilkenny registrar or ISD asks for an apostille on the original, obtain it in Pakistan first, then scan document and apostille as one file for us.
