Brazilians are the largest Portuguese-speaking group in Portlaoise, joined by clients from Portugal, Angola and Mozambique. We translate certidões, diplomas, school records and CNH licences into English with a signed Certificate of Accuracy, company stamp and reference number. Order online from anywhere in Laois, and your translation arrives by email.
Census 2022 recorded 466 Portuguese speakers at home in Co. Laois, a figure for the whole county including Portlaoise.
Some Brazilians in Laois came from Dublin looking for more affordable housing, and many commute or work locally in meat processing, logistics and healthcare. Their documents follow their plans: nursing diplomas for NMBI, school certificates for the CAO, certidões for weddings and children's passports. Brazil is outside the EU, so HSE civil registration may ask for an apostilled Brazilian certificate, while documents from Portugal can come with the EU multilingual form.

Nurses trained in Brazil who hope to join Midland Regional Hospital Portlaoise apply to NMBI with their diploma and histórico escolar. We translate both in full, with our contact details on the certificate.
Couples giving marriage notification in Laois need the Brazilian partner's recent certidão de nascimento, often apostilled. We translate it and any certidão de casamento with a divorce annotation.
Employers in and around Portlaoise may ask Brazilian applicants for work references or a CNH licence in English. We translate them for employers and insurers, keeping dates and categories exact.
Students who completed secondary school in Brazil before moving to Laois translate the Certificado de Conclusão do Ensino Médio for the CAO. We translate every subject and grade as issued.
Certidão de Casamento
A Brazilian spouse joining a partner who works in Laois registers for a first IRP in person at Burgh Quay in Dublin 2, the only ISD office for first registrations. Bring the certidão and its translation; a recent copy shows each averbação.
Certidão de Antecedentes Criminais
Home care and nursing home providers in Laois check new staff through Garda vetting and may also want a record from Brazil. The Polícia Federal certidão is issued online, and we translate the issue date and authentication code.
Diploma de Bacharel em Serviço Social
Social workers trained in Brazil who hope to work for Tusla or the HSE in Laois apply to CORU, which reviews supervised placement hours closely. We translate the diploma, the histórico and the estágio records with each hour count intact.
Book the Burgh Quay appointment first, then order translations so they are recent on the day. Ask the cartório for a new certidão de casamento, since a copy issued years ago may miss a later averbação. If you need the translation on paper for the appointment, add a hard copy at checkout and allow time for tracked post to Laois.
€29.95 per page (300 source words) for certified Portuguese 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.
