## Certified Translator in Ireland

- A certified translator in Ireland is a professional translator who signs a statement that the translation is accurate, with the date, their name and contact details. There is no official register: the Irish State does not appoint or approve translators, so what counts is the translator’s qualification and a statement that meets the rules.

## Professional translators, native in the target language

- A translator native in the target language, and a second translator checking every page
- Roxo is a Corporate Member of the American Translators Association (ATA)
- The translator’s name, signature and contact details on the certificate, as Irish immigration asks

## Is there an official certified translator in Ireland?

- No. Unlike Brazil or Spain, Ireland has no sworn translators appointed by the State and no official list of certified translators. Immigration Service Delivery does not approve or list translators or translation companies, so be wary of anyone who promises a ‘Department of Justice approved translator’.
- The Association of Translators and Interpreters Ireland (ATII, formerly the ITIA) admits translators who pass its assessments and has its own certified legal translator credential. Membership is a sign of quality, but the immigration rules do not require it. Roxo is not a member of the ATII: our credential is membership of the American Translators Association (ATA).

## What Irish immigration checks on the translation

- That the translation is complete, that it carries the translator’s statement of accuracy, the date, the translator’s name, signature and contact details, and that it was not made by the applicant. The rules do not ask for a translator in Ireland, but for a visa applied for from outside Ireland a translation made outside the EEA and Switzerland also needs an apostille from the country where it was made.

## How to choose a certified translator in Ireland

- Before you order, check that:

- The certificate has the date, the statement of accuracy and the translator’s name, signature and contact details
- The translator is native in the target language and a second person reviews the translation
- You can see the price and the delivery date before you pay
- Nobody in your family translates the documents, and neither do you

## Who translates your documents at Roxo

- Each document goes to a translator native in the target language with experience of official documents, and then to a second translator, who checks names, dates and numbers against the original. Roxo signs the certified translation with the translator’s statement, and the statement is notarised by a notary public in Florida at no extra cost.

## Portuguese, Spanish and 30 other languages

- Brazilians are one of the largest foreign communities in Ireland, and many of our clients there write to us in Portuguese or Spanish. We translate from and into more than 30 languages, and for Irish documents going to Brazil we also provide the sworn translation (tradução juramentada) done by a Brazilian sworn translator.
