Galway

## Certified Translator in Galway

- A certified translator in Galway is a professional translator who signs a statement that the translation is accurate, with the date, their name and contact details, for Irish immigration, the courts, universities and the civil registration office. You do not need to visit an office: we translate online and send the certified translation by email.

## Certified translations for Galway, signed by professional translators

- 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

## Do you need a translator based in Galway?

- No. For applications made in Ireland, Immigration Service Delivery asks for a full translation with the translator’s statement of accuracy, the date and the translator’s name, signature and contact details, and it does not ask for a translator in Galway or anywhere in Ireland. Ireland has no sworn translators and no official register, so be wary of anyone who promises a ‘Department of Justice approved translator’.
- Galway trains translators in two ways: the University of Galway runs an MA in Translation Studies, and its Irish-language academy, Acadamh na hOllscolaíochta Gaeilge, teaches translation into and out of Irish, from a BA in Irish and Translation Studies to an MA in conference interpreting.
- Translation degrees and membership of a professional association are a sign of quality, but the immigration rules do not require them. Our credential is membership of the American Translators Association (ATA). For a visa applied for from outside Ireland, a translation made outside the EEA also needs an apostille from the country where it was made.

## When an office in Galway asks for a notary

- In Ireland, notaries public are appointed by the Chief Justice, on petition, and in practice they are solicitors. Affidavits and statutory declarations are sworn before a commissioner for oaths or a practising solicitor.
- County Galway is also home to An Coimisinéir Teanga, the commissioner who oversees the Official Languages Act, in An Spidéal: state bodies must offer their services in Irish, so a document from the Gaeltacht may come in Irish and need a translation into English or another language.
- Irish immigration does not ask for a notary for applications made in Ireland. Our statement of accuracy is signed before a notary public in Florida, USA, at no extra cost (see notarised translation); if an office in Galway asks for an Irish notary, check with them before you order.

## How to choose a certified translator in Galway

- Whether the translator works in Galway or online, check that:

- 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
