Guide only — this matter needs a solicitor. Under Irish law this work must be carried out by a solicitor, so it is not sold on this site. The information below explains what is involved so you can brief a solicitor with confidence.

This immigration document check in Ireland gives you a solicitor’s review of your paperwork before you make an Irish immigration submission. Small errors, such as missing documents, inconsistent details or incomplete forms, are a common reason applications are delayed or refused. Having an Irish solicitor check your documents before you submit is a proportionate way to reduce that risk, whatever type of application you are making.
Work of this kind is carried out by a solicitor regulated by the Law Society of Ireland. We are not a solicitor’s practice and do not provide it — to instruct a solicitor, use the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory. It is a review of documents you have already gathered, so it works best once your application pack is close to ready. If the solicitor spots a problem, you will know about it before your submission is sent, while there is still time to correct it.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an immigration document check cost in Ireland?
This page is a free guide — nothing on it is for sale. Solicitors set their own fees for this work and must give you a written costs estimate (a section 150 letter) before starting. Get quotes through the Law Society of Ireland’s Find a Solicitor directory.
Why are Irish immigration applications refused?
Applications can be refused for many reasons, including not meeting eligibility criteria. Some refusals come from avoidable problems, such as missing evidence or inconsistent information, which a document check is designed to catch.
Does a document check guarantee my application will be approved?
No. Decisions are made by the immigration authorities, and a solicitor cannot guarantee an outcome. A document check helps make sure your submission is complete and consistent before you send it.
