Spanish speakers in Letterkenny include nurses and doctors from Spain, students at ATU Donegal and families from Latin America who chose the north-west. We translate their certificaciones, títulos and actas into English, each signed, dated and stamped with our company seal. Clients from Ramelton to Ballybofey order through the website and get the translation by email, with a posted copy if they need one.
Co. Donegal had 754 Spanish speakers at home in Census 2022, counted across the whole county and not only in Letterkenny.
Spanish-trained nurses have been recruited to hospitals across Ireland, and Letterkenny University Hospital is among the places they arrive. Alongside them, Donegal has a growing Latin American community, with students and workers from Mexico, Colombia, Argentina and Venezuela. Documents from Spain are EU records that can come with a multilingual form, while Latin American actas are non-EU records and may need an apostille before a Donegal registrar relies on them.

Nurses with a Título de Graduado en Enfermería heading to Letterkenny University Hospital send NMBI the full course record. We translate the Suplemento Europeo al Título and practice hours so assessors can compare them with Irish training.
Students from Spain moving from Erasmus to a full course at ATU Donegal translate the Título de Bachiller and university transcript. We keep grades on the Spanish scale of ten, as issued.
A partner from Colombia or Argentina giving marriage notification in Donegal often needs an apostilled birth certificate and proof of single status. Any apostille comes from Colombia or Argentina itself, and we translate both documents together with their apostilles.
When a Circuit Court case in Letterkenny relies on a Spanish sentencia de divorcio, the court expects a qualified translation plus a translator's affidavit. We translate the sentencia in full. Your solicitor can explain how the affidavit is dealt with in Donegal.
Acta de matrimonio
Letterkenny doctors from Colombia or Mexico applying for a join family visa include the acta de matrimonio. Because we sign that translation in the EU, it carries no apostille requirement, though the acta itself may need one from its country.
Permiso de conducción
Buses thin out quickly beyond Letterkenny, so many arrivals hire or insure a car early on. A Spanish permiso is an EU card, but Latin American licences often lack English, and we translate their categories and restrictions.
Informe de vida laboral
Spanish workers who later retire in Donegal may claim a pension that counts years in both countries. The Seguridad Social's informe de vida laboral lists each employer, contract type and days contributed, and we translate every row so a financial adviser can total them.
For a join family visa from Letterkenny, get any apostille on the Latin American acta from its issuing country first, then send us the acta with the apostille page so both are translated together. ISD takes visa papers on paper only, so tick the hard copy option when ordering, and allow a few days for it to reach Donegal before you post the application.
