Romanian nurses, carers, drivers and tradespeople live across Co. Laois, and Portlaoise is where much of their Irish paperwork is dealt with. We translate certificate de naștere, cazier judiciar, diplomas and divorce judgments into English, each signed and stamped with a reference number. Upload clear scans online, and the translation reaches your inbox as a PDF.
Census 2022 put the number of Romanian speakers at home in Co. Laois at 741, a county-level total rather than a Portlaoise one.
Laois's Romanian community has grown with jobs in healthcare, care homes, transport and construction, and many families now have children in Portlaoise schools. Some members come from Moldova, whose documents are non-EU records that may need an apostille. Typical requests include nursing diplomas for NMBI, police certificates for care roles and civil certificates for weddings or citizenship. Romanian civil records may carry an EU multilingual form, accepted by a few Irish offices instead of a translation.

Nurses with a Romanian nursing diploma joining the Portlaoise hospital register with NMBI. We translate the diploma, supplement and clinical hours, with the phone, address and email NMBI wants on the certificate.
Care homes and home care providers in Laois often ask overseas recruits for a police certificate from home. We translate the cazier judiciar so it can be read alongside Garda vetting.
A Romanian partner giving marriage notification in Laois brings a birth certificate and, if divorced, the sentință civilă de divorț. We translate both in good time for the three-month notice.
Romanians who have lived in Laois for years translate birth and marriage certificates for a naturalisation application. We deliver them as one consistent set, with names matching passports.
Diplomă de bacalaureat
Teenagers from Laois who took the bacalaureat in Romania can apply to SETU's Kilkenny Road campus in Carlow through the CAO. Each probă is translated with its mark and the overall average, and add the foaie matricolă when you send it.
Bilet de externare
Patients who were treated in Romania before moving to Laois often bring a bilet de externare from the hospital. An English version helps a Portlaoise GP or the Midland Regional Hospital, and we render diagnoses, ICD codes and prescribed medicines precisely.
Permis de conducere
The M7 commute from Portlaoise makes a car essential for many Romanian workers, and some Irish insurers ask for the licence and claims history in English. We translate the permis categories, restriction codes and dates of first issue.
For CAO applications, send both the bacalaureat diploma and the foaie matricolă covering grades IX to XII, as admissions staff may ask for the full school record. Order early in the year, well before the CAO change of mind deadline on 1 July, so the English versions are ready. Romanian names with ș and ț will match your passport exactly.
