Requested addional info - Certified copy of Birth Certificate

Post by Selma42 » Thu Jul 17, 2025 5:07 pm

Hi,

I have been requested a Certified copy of Birth Certificate for my naturalization application.
I am an EU citizen and the certificate is not in English, but it contains an English annex :

MULTILINGUAL STANDARD FORM -TRANSLATION AID
Article 7 ofRegulation (EU) 2016/1191 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 July 2016 on promoting the free movement of citizens by simplifying the requirements for presenting certain public documents in the European Union and amending Regulation (EU) No 1024/2012􀀄􀀕

This form reflects the content of the public document to which it is attached. However, the authority to which the public document is presented may require, when necessary for the purpose of processing the public document, a translation or transliteration of the information included in the form.

Would you know if this is enough for Inis or should I have the certificate translated by an authorized third party?

Thanks in advance

They asked for a certified copy, not a translation. Simply make a colour copy of your birth certificate and get a solicitor to certify it, the same way how you certify your passport.

I don't know why INIS is making this unnecessarily difficult for everybody. Previously when you submit your naturalisation application, you need to submit a certified copy of birth certificate and passport. So people would just get the same solicitor to certify both documents.

Now it seems they only ask for a certified copy of passport, but then they would randomly pick a few people and ask them to submit a certified copy of birth certificate at a later stage.
