German-speaking households in Sligo include long-settled residents on the coast, families linked to the county's pharmaceutical plants and Irish people who worked in Germany. We translate their Erbscheine, Rentenbescheide, Arbeitszeugnisse and Abitur certificates into English, each with a signed Certificate of Accuracy and company stamp. Orders are placed online, and the translation is emailed to you.
According to Census 2022, 486 people speak German at home in Co. Sligo, a county total covering Sligo town and the surrounding countryside.
Sligo has drawn German, Austrian and Swiss residents for decades, some to the coast around Strandhill and Mullaghmore and others for professional roles. Their translation needs are often about property, inheritance and pensions rather than immigration. Younger families also need school certificates translated for Irish colleges, and scientists moving to local employers bring degrees and references. We check whether a document is German, Austrian or Swiss, as each uses its own legal terms.

Pharmacists qualified in Germany who plan to work in Sligo register with the PSI, which asks for translations by a qualified translator, signed, stamped and dated. We translate the Approbation and training records accordingly.
When a Sligo family inherits from a relative in Germany, the solicitor may ask for the Erbschein and will in English. For a foreign will, the Probate Office also looks for an affidavit of translator, so ask the solicitor about that step.
Students with a German Abitur applying to ATU Sligo translate the Zeugnis der Allgemeinen Hochschulreife. We keep points per semester and the final average exactly as they appear.
Retired residents of Co. Sligo with German pension rights often receive a Rentenbescheid they need in English for Revenue or an adviser. We translate every table, deduction and payment date.
Masterurkunde und Masterzeugnis
Chemists joining AbbVie on the Manorhamilton Road often hold a German Master of Science. The Urkunde is short, so we translate it with the Zeugnis, which sets out modules, credit points and the final grade on the German scale where 1.0 is best.
Impfpass
Nursing students starting at the St Angela's campus usually show vaccination records before clinical placements. The German Impfpass lists each vaccine with a batch sticker, date and doctor's stamp, and we translate every entry, including handwritten ones.
Handelsregisterauszug
A German GmbH opening a Sligo branch registers with the CRO as an external company. CRO rules call for the certified translation to be executed before a notary, so ask your solicitor about that step; our part is a full translation of the Handelsregisterauszug.
Many German universities issue the Diploma Supplement in English as well as German, so ask for the bilingual version before ordering for an AbbVie or ATU Sligo application. You may then only need the Urkunde and Zeugnis translated. Send only the German-only pages and we will quote for those, rather than for the whole bundle.
