Regional Expertise: Portugal, Brazil and Portuguese-Speaking Documents
Portuguese documents vary by issuing country and authority. We translate documents from Portugal and Brazil (and other Portuguese-speaking jurisdictions) with attention to:
- Different certificate layouts and registry terminology
- Stamps, signatures and issuing authority references
- Name spelling alignment with existing English records (passport/UK documents)
UKVI Requirements for Portuguese Documents
For UKVI and Home Office submissions, translations must be complete and readable. Every certified translation typically includes:
- Confirmation of accuracy and completeness
- Date of translation
- Translator’s full name and signature
- Contact details
- Statement of competence in Portuguese and English
If your certificate contains notes, marginal entries, stamps or reverse-page endorsements, these must be translated as well.
If you are unsure whether your document requires certification, see our certified translation overview for the UK.
Understanding Portuguese Documents
Certidoes (Certificates)
- Often issued as extracts and may include registry references and annotations.
