Urdu is spoken in many Pakistani families across Limerick, from healthcare workers at UL Hospitals to shop owners, students and young children born here. We translate the نکاح نامہ, Union Council birth and death certificates, talaq deeds, family court decrees and the Urdu fields on CNICs and FRCs into certified English for €29.95 per page. Short Urdu orders of up to three pages are generally back by email within 24 hours.
Census 2022 recorded 775 people speaking Urdu at home in Co. Limerick, the combined figure for Limerick City and County.
Limerick is one of the areas outside Dublin with the most Urdu speakers, alongside Cork and Meath, and like the national community it is young, with many children born in Ireland. Family paperwork drives most Limerick requests: the Nikah Nama for marriage or EU Treaty Rights, birth certificates for citizenship and children's passports, Child Benefit claims, and family court decrees.

Pakistani parents in Limerick applying for a child's Irish passport may need to show their marriage. The Nikah Nama is handwritten in Urdu, so we translate every column, including mehr and witnesses, for the Passport Office.
Families claiming Child Benefit through the Department of Social Protection may be asked for a marriage or birth record in English. We translate the Urdu entries on Union Council certificates and keep NADRA numbers exact.
A Pakistani spouse of an EU citizen living in Limerick applies to ISD for EU Treaty Rights with the Nikah Nama and NADRA marriage registration certificate. We translate the Urdu parts so the marriage is clear to ISD.
Khula, custody or maintenance decrees from a Pakistani family court sometimes need to go before the District or Circuit Court in Limerick. We translate the full decree bundle. Ask your solicitor how the translator's affidavit for that court should be handled.
پیدائشی سرٹیفکیٹ
Pakistani residents in Limerick applying for naturalisation include a birth certificate with the ISD file. NADRA's computerised certificate is mostly English, but older Union Council versions are handwritten in Urdu, and we translate every entry, including the father's name and address.
طلاق نامہ
A divorced Pakistani marrying in Limerick has to explain to the registrar how the earlier marriage ended. We translate the talaq nama plus the council's confirmation that it took effect. Irish recognition of the divorce may be examined, so raise it early.
فیملی رجسٹریشن سرٹیفکیٹ (FRC)
NADRA's Family Registration Certificate lists parents, spouses and children with their CNIC numbers. Limerick families use it in ISD family reunification or citizenship files, and because some fields appear only in Urdu, we translate them so each relationship is clear.
Pakistani records are non-EU, so before a Limerick notification or an ISD file, ask whether an apostille is needed; Pakistan joined the Apostille Convention in 2023. Have it fixed to the original first, then scan the certificate and sticker for us. Spell names exactly as in your passport, since Urdu names romanise in many ways.
€29.95 per page (300 source words) for certified Urdu translation, with free delivery by email. Add a hard copy by tracked post (€14.95) or an apostille for use abroad (from €149.95) at checkout. See all services.
