Latvian in Ireland

Latvians in Ireland, from Fingal to Co. Cavan

Census 2022 counted 15,349 people speaking Latvian at home, up from 14,197 in 2016. Unusually, the community is spread well beyond Dublin: Fingal has the largest group, followed by Louth, Meath, Dublin City, Cork and Cavan. Many families arrived after 2004 and are now applying for Irish citizenship, registering children’s births, marrying or buying homes, and each of those steps can bring a Latvian certificate, court decision or employer letter before an Irish body that works only in English or Irish.

Latvian Documents We Translate Most

Birth certificate

Dzimšanas apliecība

Issued by the dzimtsarakstu nodaļa. We translate the parents’ details, the personas kods and any later entries, and render the original-form spelling of a name when the certificate records one.

Marriage certificate

Laulības apliecība

Latvian marriages can be registered by a civil registry office or a church authorised to register them. We translate the certificate either way, including the surnames both spouses chose after the wedding.

Divorce certificate or judgment

Laulības šķiršanas apliecība

Latvia allows uncontested divorces before a notary (zvērināts notārs), who issues a divorce certificate, while contested cases end in a court judgment (spriedums). We translate whichever document you hold.

Criminal record certificate

Izziņa par sodāmību

Issued from the Latvian Punishment Register, often as an electronically signed PDF. We translate the certificate, its reference number and the statement of any recorded convictions or none.

Secondary school certificate

Atestāts par vispārējo vidējo izglītību

We translate the atestāts together with its sekmju izraksts (record of grades) and the centralised examination certificates, which CAO applicants usually need to show subject results.

Degree and supplement

Bakalaura diploms un diploma pielikums

Latvian universities issue a diploma and a diploma supplement listing courses, credit points (kredītpunkti) and grades. Both are translated so QQI or an employer can read the full qualification.

Employer’s reference

Darba devēja izziņa

Letters from a Latvian employer confirming your post, dates and duties, often needed for registration bodies or Irish recruiters. We keep company registration numbers and signatories exactly as written.

Social insurance statement

VSAA izziņa par apdrošināšanas periodiem

Statements from Latvia’s State Social Insurance Agency listing contribution periods and pension entitlements. We translate each period and amount so SUSI or the Department of Social Protection can follow them.

FAQs

Latvian Translation: Common Questions

What does a Latvian translation cost?+
€29.95 per page, where a page is 300 words of the Latvian original. A dzimšanas apliecība or laulības apliecība is almost always one page. Latvian costs the same as every other language we translate.
How soon will my Latvian translation be ready?+
Most orders of one to three pages arrive by email within 24 hours. Longer files, such as a full diploma supplement, take a little longer and we confirm the date first. For urgent Latvian files, 12-hour delivery can be arranged on request.
Do I need a sworn translator for Ireland?+
No. Ireland has no sworn translators and no official register of them. Irish authorities accept certified translations from professional translators, and ISD describes a certified translation as one from a translator or translation company with an established professional reputation. Our Certificate of Accuracy gives our name, signature, date, contact details and stamp.
My Latvian certificate has a multilingual form. Is that enough?+
Possibly. Latvia is in the EU, so under Regulation 2016/1191 you can request a multilingual standard form with a birth, marriage or death certificate. ISD accepts it in place of a translation for EU Treaty Rights and citizenship, and the Civil Registration Service can too, but many other bodies, such as universities and employers, still ask for a full translation.
Can you translate Irish documents into Latvian?+
Yes. We translate Irish birth, marriage and court documents into Latvian, for example to register an Irish-born child with a Latvian registry office. Latvian institutions set their own rules for translations into Latvian, so check with the receiving office or the Latvian Embassy in Dublin before you order.
How do you handle Latvian name forms?+
Latvian adapts names to its grammar, so an Irish husband called John may appear as Džons, and surnames change with gender, such as Bērziņš and Bērziņa. We copy names exactly as the Latvian document shows them and can add the passport spelling in brackets so every document in your file matches.
My older documents are in Russian. Can you still help?+
Yes. Records issued in Soviet Latvia before 1991, and some later documents, are in Russian or in both languages. Our translators read both, and we translate the whole document into English with the Cyrillic names transliterated to match your current passport.
