Kerry has drawn many German-speaking residents over the years, and in Tralee and around the county they deal with Irish paperwork for property, pensions, businesses and grandchildren. We translate the Geburtsurkunde, Erbschein, Rentenbescheid, Abiturzeugnis and Führungszeugnis into certified English at €29.95 per page, and short orders usually arrive within 24 hours, signed and stamped.
Census 2022 shows 1,086 people in Co. Kerry speaking German at home, the third largest foreign home language in the county.
Many German, Austrian and Swiss residents have made Kerry their home, some running tourism or craft businesses and others retiring here. That profile brings estates, pensions and property questions as often as school or job paperwork. German civil records may use the EU multilingual form, but Erbschein, pension and business documents always need a certified translation for Irish use.

Retirees in Kerry receiving a German state pension may need the Rentenbescheid in English for Revenue or the Department of Social Protection. We translate the pension amounts, contribution periods and dates exactly.
Germans descended from Kerry emigrants can apply to the Foreign Births Register. We translate the Geburtsurkunde and Heiratsurkunde linking each generation, stamped as the DFA expects.
Staff transferring to Kerry Group's Tralee headquarters from sites abroad may need birth, marriage and degree documents in English. We translate the set in one order so names and dates are consistent.
When someone living in Kerry leaves assets in Germany, or a German will covers Irish property, the solicitor may need the Testament or Erbschein in English. We translate the Testament or Erbschein in full. The Probate Office may also want an affidavit of translator, which the solicitor can advise on.
Geburtsurkunde
Germans descended from a Kerry-born grandparent can apply to the Foreign Births Register. Each German Geburtsurkunde in the chain linking you to that grandparent needs translating, and the DFA wants the translator's stamp, which every one of our translations carries.
Bachelorzeugnis
German graduates joining Kerry Group at its headquarters on Prince's Street may need to present the Bachelorzeugnis in English. It gives a final grade on the 1.0 to 5.0 scale and the thesis title, and we translate both along with the module list.
Führerschein
German owners of holiday homes on the Dingle Peninsula often keep a car in Kerry. An Irish insurer may want an English version of the Führerschein, and we translate each class, including older ones like Klasse 3 still printed on some paper licences.
A Foreign Births Register application from a German family usually needs a chain of records: the Kerry-born grandparent's Irish certificate, then the German birth and marriage certificates for each generation. Order all German records from the Standesamt at once and send them together, so names and dates stay consistent across the whole chain.
