Brazilian students and workers make up most of the Portuguese speakers who contact us from Letterkenny, with some clients from Portugal and Angola as well. We translate certidões, school records, CNH licences and work documents into English, signed and stamped by our team. You upload the documents online from anywhere in Donegal and receive your translation as a signed PDF.
Census 2022 counted 388 Portuguese speakers at home in Co. Donegal, a figure for the whole county including Letterkenny.
Many Brazilians first come to Donegal to study English or work in hospitality, then stay for longer courses or jobs in Letterkenny. Their paperwork grows as they settle: a certidão de nascimento for a wedding, a histórico escolar for ATU, a CNH for a car insurer. Brazil is outside the EU, so a Brazilian certificate may need an apostille for HSE marriage notification, whereas records from Portugal can carry the EU multilingual standard form.
See our full Portuguese translation service or every language we translate for Letterkenny.
Brazilian students moving onto a degree at ATU's Letterkenny campus translate the Certificado de Conclusão do Ensino Médio and histórico escolar. We translate every subject and yearly mark as it appears.
Nurses trained in Brazil who want to work at Letterkenny University Hospital apply to NMBI with their diploma and full training record. We translate both, with the contact details NMBI requires on the translation.
Couples marrying in Donegal give notification to the HSE Civil Registration Service at least three months ahead. We translate the Brazilian partner's recent certidão de nascimento and single-status declaration for the appointment.
Brazilians driving in Donegal may need a Carteira Nacional de Habilitação translated for an insurer or car hire firm. We translate the licence categories, dates and restrictions exactly as shown.
Certidão de Nascimento (inteiro teor)
Brazilians who have lived in Donegal long enough to apply for naturalisation send a copy of the birth record with its translation. The inteiro teor version carries every averbação, including a later name change or recognition of paternity, and we translate each note.
Extrato bancário
Buyers in Letterkenny who are moving savings from Brazil may be asked by their lender to show where the deposit came from. We translate the extrato with every Pix transfer, balance in reais and account detail, keeping the bank's layout so figures can be checked.
Diploma de Medicina e Certidão do CRM
For Medical Council registration before a post at LUH, Brazilian doctors need the degree and a good-standing record in English. We translate the diploma and the certidão from the regional CRM, officially stamped with our name and address.
Lenders in Donegal usually want statements covering several months, so export one PDF from Brazilian online banking for the whole period rather than sending screenshots. For a naturalisation file, ask the cartório for a recent inteiro teor copy, because older issues may miss a later averbação. Give us the name exactly as your IRP card shows it, so every document matches.
