French speakers in Limerick include Irish-French families, Erasmus students at UL and Mary Immaculate College, teachers, engineers and francophone African families in the city. We translate copies intégrales d'actes de naissance, baccalauréat results, diplômes de licence, jugements and CAPES certificates into certified English for €29.95 per page. A French order of up to three pages is normally emailed back within 24 hours.
Across Co. Limerick, 1,832 people speak French at home (Census 2022), counting Limerick City and County together.
French is the second foreign language in Co. Limerick homes, and many of its speakers were born in Ireland to a French-speaking parent. Mary Immaculate College and UL both teach French, which brings students and staff from France and Belgium. Limerick paperwork covers Teaching Council registration, CAO applications, marriage notification and, for families from DR Congo or Cameroon, handwritten civil records and supplementary birth judgments.

French-speaking students at MIC who plan to register with the Teaching Council later may need their French school and university records in English. We translate the relevé de notes and diplôme with every mark out of 20.
Engineers trained at a French grande école and hired by semiconductor or medtech firms around Limerick may be asked for their diplôme d'ingénieur in English. We translate the title, specialisation and ECTS credits exactly.
French-speaking parents registering a baby born at University Maternity Hospital Limerick may need their marriage record translated. For an acte de mariage from Cameroon or DR Congo we translate every handwritten entry and legalisation stamp.
Guardianship or divorce proceedings in Limerick can involve a French jugement de divorce or a divorce convention. We translate it with the notaire's deposit certificate where one exists. Court rules also require a translator's affidavit, so talk to your solicitor about how that is sworn.
Diplôme d’ingénieur
French-trained engineers joining Analog Devices in Raheen or other Mid-West firms may be asked to show their grande école qualification in English. We translate the diplôme d'ingénieur and its supplément, noting that the title carries master's-level status in France.
Copie intégrale d’acte de mariage
Irish-French couples in Limerick who married in France use the acte de mariage when the Irish spouse renews a passport in a married name. Passport Office rules want it certified in English or Irish, and ours includes every mention in the margin.
Acte de décès
When a French or Belgian relative of a Limerick family dies abroad, the Irish solicitor dealing with local assets needs the acte de décès in English. We translate the date, the commune and the deceased's marital status, leaving any affidavit question to your solicitor.
Students from France arriving at UL through Erasmus usually need nothing translated for the exchange itself, but staying on for a master's or a job changes that. Before a Limerick employer or UL admissions asks, collect your diploma, supplément and relevé de notes as PDFs and translate them together so the names and dates line up.
