Certified English translations of documents from Spain and Latin America, prepared for Irish use: a certificación literal de nacimiento for citizenship, a título de Grado for NMBI or the Teaching Council, a certificado de antecedentes penales for an employer. Native Spanish translators keep both apellidos, every accent and every ñ exactly as written. Each translation is signed with a Certificate of Accuracy and carries our stamp and a reference number. €29.95 per page, most orders delivered in 24 hours.
Census 2022 counted 48,113 people speaking Spanish at home, up from 32,405 in 2016, and a further 18,966 of them were born in Ireland. The largest concentration is in Dublin City, with 12,895 speakers, followed by Cork City and County with 5,183. Because the community includes people from Spain and from across Latin America, we see EU certificates that can come with a multilingual form alongside Mexican, Argentinian and Colombian records that need a full translation and sometimes an apostille.

Certificación literal de nacimiento
The Registro Civil issues literal (full) and extracto (short) versions. The literal copy carries every marginal note, so it is the version we suggest for naturalisation or the Foreign Births Register.
Acta de matrimonio
Mexican, Colombian and Argentinian marriage records are titled acta or partida de matrimonio. Being non-EU documents, they may need an apostille from the issuing country for Irish use, and we translate the apostille too.
Sentencia de divorcio
In Spain a divorce is also noted in the margin of the marriage entry. Irish registrars look for proof that the decree is firme (final), so send the sentencia with its firmeza wording or the annotated marriage certificate.
Certificado de antecedentes penales
Spain’s Ministerio de Justicia issues it, including online with a secure verification code. Latin American countries issue their own versions, often from the national police, and we translate whichever you hold.
Título de Bachiller
Translated with your university entrance exam results (PAU or EBAU, still widely called selectividad). We keep grades on the Spanish 0–10 scale exactly as printed, never converted.
Título de Grado / Licenciatura
Spanish degrees usually come with a Suplemento Europeo al Título (SET). QQI NARIC asks for official translations of the parchment and transcript, and the SET makes credits and grading easy to compare.
Título de Graduado en Enfermería
Spanish nurses registering with NMBI send the degree, the academic record and a certificate of good standing from their Colegio Oficial de Enfermería, each translated, signed and stamped with our contact details.
Certificación académica personal
Lists every asignatura with credits, sitting (convocatoria) and grade. Teaching Council subject checks depend on the credit breakdown, so we reproduce module names and ECTS values line by line.
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.
A professional translator completes your translation, and we attach a signed Certificate of Accuracy with our full contact details, company stamp and reference number.
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.
NMBI asks for translations signed and stamped by a qualified translator with phone, address and email. We translate the whole application pack, from título and certificación académica to the good-standing letter, with consistent terminology throughout.
Spanish teachers registering at post-primary level must show enough ECTS credits in each subject they teach. We translate transcripts module by module so the Teaching Council can check each one against its subject criteria.
Latin American spouses of Spanish citizens apply to ISD under EU Treaty Rights. A Spanish certificate with a multilingual form needs no translation, but a Mexican or Colombian acta de nacimiento does, and we translate it with any apostille.
Couples give the HSE three months’ notice. A partner from Spain can bring a certificado with a multilingual form; a Latin American partner usually needs the birth certificate translated and, depending on the registrar, apostilled.
Students with a Bachillerato apply through the CAO, and graduates apply directly for postgraduate study. The CAO’s rule is that an official translation is one carried out by a professional translation service provider.
Irish documents used in Spain, such as a degree for homologación, usually need a traducción jurada by a traductor-intérprete jurado appointed in Spain. Check first; we translate into Spanish for employers and private uses that accept a certified translation.
€29.95 per page for Spanish, the same as every other language. Most certificates fit on a single page (300 source words). Digital delivery is free; a hard copy by tracked post can be added at checkout.
