From a dzimšanas apliecība needed for a child’s Irish passport to a sodāmības izziņa for a Teaching Council application, we translate Latvian documents into English for use anywhere in Ireland. Each translation is done by a native Latvian speaker, keeps every ā, ē, ģ, ķ, ļ, ņ, š and ž exactly as printed, and comes with a signed Certificate of Accuracy and our stamp. €29.95 per page, with most orders delivered within 24 hours.
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.

multilingual standard forms apply
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
No account required. No commitment. Exact price in seconds.
Send a photo, scan or PDF of your document through our secure portal. We count the words and show you the exact price in euro straight away.

Your certified translation arrives by email as a PDF, ready to submit. A hard copy by tracked post or an apostille can be added at checkout. 12-hour expedited service on request.
Latvian applicants for naturalisation upload a birth certificate and, where relevant, marriage or name-change papers. ISD asks for a translation by a professional translator alongside a copy of the original.
Marrying in Ireland means giving the Civil Registration Service at least three months’ notice with your birth certificate and, if divorced, your Latvian divorce certificate or judgment in English.
Teenagers who finished school in Latvia apply through the CAO with their atestāts and exam certificates. The CAO says an official translation is one carried out by a professional translation service provider.
Teachers who lived in Latvia need a Latvian criminal record certificate among their overseas police clearances. We translate the izziņa so the Teaching Council can read it alongside your Garda vetting.
Mortgage lenders and solicitors may ask for evidence of savings or income from Latvia. We translate bank statements and employer letters in full, keeping every euro figure exactly as shown.
Where a Latvian judgment or custody order is used in the District or Circuit Court, the rules ask for a translator’s affidavit. We translate the judgment or order itself. Ask your solicitor how the affidavit should be handled.
