Urdu-speaking families in Sligo, mostly from Pakistan, often need their Nikah Nama, birth records or court decrees in English for Irish offices. We translate Urdu documents, including those that mix Urdu and English on the same page, with a signed Certificate of Accuracy and company stamp. Scans are uploaded through our order page, wherever you are in the county, and the signed PDF follows by email.
Co. Sligo was home to 215 Urdu speakers at Census 2022, a county-level figure rather than one for Sligo town.
Sligo's Urdu speakers include Pakistani doctors and healthcare staff, their families and a younger generation growing up in the county. Many Pakistani documents are bilingual, with printed English headings and handwritten Urdu entries, so a translation must cover the Urdu parts in full. Typical requests are the Nikah Nama for a spouse's application, NADRA birth or family registration certificates, and family court decrees. Pakistan now issues apostilles, which some Irish processes may ask for on the original.

Doctors from Pakistan joining Sligo University Hospital usually hold English-language degrees, but supporting family and identity documents are often in Urdu. We translate those so the relocation paperwork is complete.
A Nikah Nama is needed for many family processes in Sligo, from a child's passport to civil registration. We translate every clause, including the mehr, witnesses and any conditions written in Urdu.
A NADRA family registration certificate lists parents and children in one document. We translate it for Irish passport, citizenship or school applications, keeping each name as spelled on passports.
If a Sligo family law case relies on a Pakistani court decree or talaq deed, the court needs a qualified translation plus a translator's affidavit. We translate the Pakistani decree, stamps and all. Your solicitor can explain how the affidavit is dealt with.
پیدائشی سرٹیفکیٹ
Children born in Pakistan to parents working at Sligo University Hospital or AbbVie often need a birth certificate in English for ISD. Handwritten Union Council certificates mix both languages, so each Urdu entry is translated and names are checked against the NADRA version.
وصیت نامہ
A Sligo resident's will written in Urdu on Pakistani stamp paper can be admitted by the Probate Office on the strength of a translation plus the translator's affidavit. We translate the will in full, stamp paper details included; ask your solicitor about the affidavit.
پولیس کریکٹر سرٹیفکیٹ
Doctors and nurses from Pakistan joining Sligo University Hospital may be asked for a police character certificate alongside Garda vetting. Provincial police issue it, often with Urdu stamps and endorsements, and we translate those parts with the certificate number.
For a Sligo family file, order the NADRA computerised birth certificate or Family Registration Certificate where possible, since handwritten Union Council versions can spell names differently. Pakistan now issues apostilles on its own documents, so if an Irish office asks for one on the original, get it in Pakistan first, then send us the certificate and its apostille page as one upload.
