Portuguese-speaking clients in Sligo are often Brazilian nurses, students and hospitality workers, with some from Portugal and Angola. We translate certidões, school records, diplomas and CNH licences into English, each signed and stamped with a reference number. Upload the documents from Ballisodare, Rosses Point or anywhere nearby, and the translation comes back by email.
Census 2022 counted 173 Portuguese speakers at home in Co. Sligo, a figure for the whole county including Sligo town.
Sligo's Portuguese speakers are a small but growing group, many of them Brazilians who came to study English and moved on to study or work locally. Their documents grow in number as they settle: a histórico escolar for ATU, a nursing diploma for NMBI, a certidão de nascimento for a wedding. Brazil is outside the EU, so a Brazilian certificate may need an apostille for HSE civil registration, while documents from Portugal may carry the EU multilingual form.
See our full Portuguese translation service or every language we translate for Sligo.
Brazilian nurses applying to NMBI before starting at SUH translate the diploma and full histórico escolar. We translate each module and practical hour, with our phone, address and email on the certificate.
Students applying to ATU on Ash Lane translate the Certificado de Conclusão do Ensino Médio and any university records. We keep grades and school stamps as they appear.
A Brazilian partner giving marriage notification in Sligo usually brings a recent apostilled certidão de nascimento. We translate it, and the certidão de casamento with divorce annotation if previously married.
Insurers and car hire firms may ask Sligo drivers for an English version of a Brazilian CNH. We translate the licence categories, dates and conditions, for insurance use rather than NDLS exchange.
Registro Geral (RG)
Brazilian passports do not always show parents' names, so ISD or a Sligo bank may ask for another document that does. The RG lists filiação and often a CPF number, and we translate front and back with every stamp and signature.
Certidão de Casamento
A Portuguese citizen working in Sligo with a Brazilian spouse applies for EU Treaty Rights residence. An EU multilingual form is possible for Portuguese certidões but not Brazilian ones, so the Brazilian record is translated with its averbações.
Diploma de Bacharel em Terapia Ocupacional
Occupational therapists from Brazil hoping to work at Sligo University Hospital apply to CORU, which looks at course content and supervised practice. We translate the diploma and the histórico escolar with every estágio and its hours.
Brazilian certidões issued as digital PDFs by a cartório carry a validation code and QR code. Upload that digital file itself, not a picture of a print, so the code survives and a Sligo employer or ISD can verify it. If the original needs an apostille for your use, Brazil adds it first, and we translate both.
