Applying for a short-stay 'C' visa, a long-stay 'D' visa, or a Join Family visa through AVATS? Any supporting document that isn't in English or Irish has to reach the visa office as a certified visa document translation. We render your passport, bank statements, sponsor letters and civil documents in full — every page and stamp — completed by an accredited, native, human translator and issued with a signed Certificate of Accuracy that ISD and Irish visa offices recognise.
It's handled entirely online, so wherever you're applying from — Dublin, Cork, Galway or overseas — you upload once and we do the rest, securely and in strict confidence. With express and same-day options built around visa appointment and interview dates, your certified translation lands ready to submit — not stuck in a queue while your deadline runs down.

Accepted by the offices that process Irish visa applications
Certified visa document translation for applicants in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick and right across Ireland, or applying from abroad — a fast, secure and fully online service, so there's no need to search for a translator near you or visit an office.
A visa file lives or dies on consistency — names, dates and figures that don't quite match across your documents are one of the most common reasons a decision is delayed. Here's exactly what "certified" means for visa paperwork, and how we build accuracy in from the first line.
A certified visa document translation is a complete, precise English rendering of your original, released with a signed Certificate of Accuracy. Because Ireland holds no state register of "sworn" translators, the responsibility rests squarely on the person doing the work: for ISD and Irish visa offices worldwide, an acceptable translation is a full, accurate one that a qualified, accredited, ITIA-affiliated professional puts their name to — submitted with your original, never in place of it.
What decides most visa files isn't any single document — it's whether the whole set agrees with itself. A visa officer cross-reads your passport, bank statements and sponsor letters side by side, so a name spelled two different ways or a figure that doesn't reconcile is enough to trigger a query. We translate your documents as a single, consistent set, aligning every name, date and figure so nothing on the page contradicts anything else.
One useful thing to know before you pay for anything: not every supporting document needs full certification. Some visa offices accept a straightforward translation for informational documents, while others expect full certification across the board. Where a document is headed to an embassy that wants extra formality, it can also be notarised by a licensed Irish Notary Public or apostilled by the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA). We confirm your exact requirement upfront, so you pay for precisely the level your application needs.
Accepted first time — or we fix it free. If ISD or a visa office ever raises a query on our work, we revise and reissue at no charge until your document is accepted. A stalled visa file costs you weeks — so we carry that risk, not you.
Most Irish visa applications call for several translated documents at once, and each visa category leans on a different combination. Here's what's typically required for the main routes — and what the visa office is really checking when it asks for it.
Business, tourism and family-visit visas lodged through AVATS lean on your bank statements, employment letter and travel history — translated financial figures need to be accurate and complete for the application to stand.
Study, work and long-stay 'D' visas rely on translated academic transcripts, employment contracts and proof of funds — matched to the specific stamp and permission you're applying for.
Join Family and De Facto applications turn on proving a genuine relationship. Marriage and birth certificates carry that evidence, so they're translated precisely and rendered to read cleanly against every sponsor document.
Bank statements, payslips and sponsor letters need every figure carried across exactly — a visa officer cross-checks these against the rest of your file, so precision matters more here than almost anywhere else.
Once your visa is granted, registering for your Irish Residence Permit at ISD Burgh Quay may call for further translated proof of address or relationship documents, matched to the Stamp you're being granted.
Critical Skills and General Employment Permits, plus QQI qualification recognition, rely on translated diplomas, transcripts and contracts that support the visa and permit application together.
Every file is matched to a native-speaking, bilingual translator who works manually — never by machine — and knows the administrative vocabulary of your source country. That native ear is what gets names, figures and official titles rendered accurately the first time, across regional dialects and scripts. We handle multilingual visa document sets to and from 90+ languages, with dedicated specialists in Ireland's most-requested pairs:
From the first upload to the final signed PDF, your documents move through one accountable workflow — submitted online, translated by a single named linguist, then independently verified before anything is certified. Here's each step, and where the quality checks sit.
Upload clear scans of every document — passport, bank statements, sponsor letters and more — through the secure form, WhatsApp or email. We confirm the language pair and send a quick estimate in minutes.
A native-speaking, ITIA-affiliated translator works across your documents manually, applying one consistent spelling of every name and figure throughout.
A second qualified linguist independently verifies each document against the others — names, dates and figures all aligned — then certifies the set to the format ISD expects.
Your signed, certified translations arrive in 24–48 hours — express and same-day when a visa appointment is close — ready to upload via AVATS, with posted hard copies whenever an embassy needs paper.
That independent second-linguist verification is the quiet difference — it catches the mismatches that trip up single-pass translations, and it's why applicants clear ISD without a follow-up query.
A professional certified translation mirrors your original like-for-like — same layout, every stamp and figure noted — and carries the translator's signature and Certificate of Accuracy that make it embassy- and ISD-accepted. Here's the shape yours will take, shown through a passport, a bank statement and a sponsor letter we've handled.
Send us one document and tell us which visa you're applying for — we'll return a free, no-obligation sample of your certified translation, so you know exactly what to expect.
Every page of every document rendered in full — nothing summarised or skipped, including figures, stamps and seals.
The dated, official declaration from a named translator that makes each document verifiable and legally recognised by ISD.
Your translation laid out to mirror the original, so a visa officer can cross-check the two at a glance.
Tamper-evident, verifiable PDFs sized and named for direct upload via AVATS and embassy portals.
Wet-ink signed originals delivered anywhere in Ireland for embassies and visa centres that still need paper.
Add Irish Notary Public certification or a DFA apostille for embassies that require extra formality.
Because a visa file is a set of separate documents, we price per document rather than one vague flat fee — and the more you translate together, the more competitive your per-document rate. Pricing is affordable and easy to plan for: you'll see an all-in estimate for your whole set before you commit, with no per-word surprises and no hidden extras.

Any service can translate a single document. Far fewer treat your application as one file — keeping names and figures consistent across every page — and fewer still are reliable enough to handle sensitive financial and personal records in strict confidence. Before you trust anyone with your visa application, these are the marks of an experienced, trustworthy visa translation service in Ireland.
If any authority ever queries a certified visa file we've submitted, we revise and reissue it free of charge.
Passports, bank statements, sponsor letters and civil documents — the records visa officers see daily — translated precisely by people who know exactly how they're read.
No anonymous stamps. Every translation carries a qualified, ITIA-affiliated, accredited translator's name — the accountability visa offices insist on.
Visa appointment and interview dates don't move. Standard turnaround is 24–48 hours, with fast, express and same-day options when your date is close.
If any visa office queries a document, we revise and reissue at no cost — your certified translation isn't finished until your application is accepted.
Bank statements and personal financial records are handled confidentially — encrypted, access-controlled, processed in Ireland and deleted after delivery, fully GDPR-compliant.
