Certified Translation

🇵🇰 انگریزی میں مصدقہ ترجمہ

Many Pakistani documents are already in English, but the ones Irish bodies query most are not: the handwritten Nikah Nama, Union Council birth entries, talaq papers and Urdu court orders. Our native Urdu translators read the handwriting, render every stamp and thumbprint note, and deliver a signed English translation with a Certificate of Accuracy, our stamp and a reference number. €29.95 per page, with most orders ready within 24 hours.

Urdu in Ireland

Urdu-Speaking Families in Ireland

Census 2022 counted 16,307 people speaking Urdu at home, a rise of 23% since 2016. The community is young: close to a third are aged 18 or under, many of them born here. South Dublin and Fingal have the largest groups, followed by Dublin City, Cork, Meath and Limerick. Family life drives most of our Urdu work, from marriage and children’s passports to citizenship, and it usually turns on one or two key documents written in Urdu rather than English.

Urdu Documents We Translate Most

Marriage contract

نکاح نامہ (Nikah Nama)

The Nikah Nama is a printed Urdu form filled in by hand, with clauses on mehr, delegated divorce rights and witnesses. We translate every column, including crossed-out clauses, and the NADRA marriage registration certificate if you have it.

Birth certificate

پیدائشی سرٹیفکیٹ

Union Council birth certificates are often handwritten or partly in Urdu, while NADRA’s computerised versions are mostly English. We translate the Urdu parts and flag any spelling that differs from your passport.

Divorce deed and certificate

طلاق نامہ

A talaq deed is usually followed by a certificate from the Union Council’s Arbitration Council confirming the divorce took effect. We translate both, with dates, notice periods and signatories exactly as recorded.

Family court decree

عدالتی ڈگری

Pakistani family courts issue khula, custody and maintenance decrees, sometimes with Urdu orders or statements attached. We translate the whole bundle. For Irish court use, ask your solicitor how the translator’s affidavit should be handled.

Death certificate

وفات کا سرٹیفکیٹ

Issued by the Union Council or a local municipal body, often with Urdu entries for the cause and place of death. We translate each entry and keep the registration number exactly as printed.

CNIC, B-Form and FRC

شناختی کارڈ، ب فارم

Identity cards and the Family Registration Certificate are bilingual, but some fields appear only in Urdu. We translate the Urdu fields so the receiving body in Ireland sees the full family record in English.

Will

وصیت نامہ

Wills made in Pakistan are sometimes handwritten in Urdu on stamp paper. For Irish assets, the Probate Office needs a translation with a translator’s affidavit, so ask your solicitor how it should be handled.

Religious education certificate

سند

Madrassa sanad certificates are written in Urdu and Arabic. We translate the title, institution, subjects and grades so that an employer or QQI can see what the qualification covers.

FAQs

Urdu Translation: Common Questions

What is the price for an Urdu translation?+
€29.95 per page, counting 300 words of the Urdu original as a page. A Nikah Nama normally fits on one or two pages. If part of your document is already in English, you only pay for the part that needs translating.
How fast can you translate a Nikah Nama?+
Usually within 24 hours for one to three pages, delivered as a signed PDF by email. Very faint handwriting can take slightly longer, and we tell you straight away. Ask us if you need the 12-hour expedited option.
Is there a sworn Urdu translator in Ireland?+
Ireland has no sworn translators at all, in Urdu or any other language. Irish public bodies rely on certified translations by professional translators instead. Our certificate states the translation is true to the original and carries the translator’s name, signature, date, our contact details and stamp.
Does my Pakistani certificate need an apostille?+
For some Irish uses it may. Pakistan joined the Apostille Convention in 2023, and Citizens Information notes that birth certificates issued outside the EU may need an apostille or legalisation for marriage notification. The apostille goes on the original in Pakistan. We then translate the certificate and apostille together.
Can you translate Irish documents into Urdu?+
Yes, although most Pakistani offices work in English and accept Irish documents without an Urdu version. If a court, family member or institution specifically wants Urdu, we translate from English into Urdu and write it in the standard Nastaliq-style Urdu script.
My name is spelled differently on every document. What do you do?+
Urdu names have no single English spelling, so Muhammad, Mohammad and Muhammed all appear. We follow your passport spelling, keep the family links shown as ولد (son of), بنت (daughter of) or زوجہ (wife of), and note any variant spellings.
Do I need a translation if my documents are from NADRA?+
Often not. Computerised NADRA birth, marriage and family registration certificates are largely in English. Upload them anyway and we will tell you honestly whether any Urdu field needs translating before you pay anything.
