Irish Driving Licence Application: translation of private documents

If you apply for the Irish Driving Licence or need a translation of your existing Driving Licence into English , it is important that your documents are accepted in Ireland or in the country where you happen to be driving. 

Only officially recognised translations will be accepted which means that if your documents are not in English or Irish, you have to provide  a notarised or certified English translation. Certified translations are required for all documents, such as  birth, marriage or civil partnership certificates etc., which are not in English or Irish and which are not accompanied by a European Union multilingual standard form. 

Certified translations are required for all Letters of Entitlement which are not in English or Irish. They have to accompany original documents that you are submitting.
