Certified Brazilian Portuguese translation for certidão de nascimento, diplomas, and legal documents from Brazil's cartório system. Our native Brazilian translators understand the cartório notarial system, DETRAN formats, and MEC-issued academic credentials — not European Portuguese translators working outside their dialect.
Our Brazilian Portuguese translators are native Brazilians who specialize in the cartório system of vital records, DETRAN (DMV) documents, MEC and CAPES academic credentials, and the Brazilian civil code terminology. They understand the difference between certidão de nascimento and extrato de nascimento, know how to handle the averbação (marginal annotation) system, and navigate the complexity of Brazil's Registro Civil.
From a Brazilian certidão de nascimento for USCIS I-130 petitions to university diplomas from USP or UNICAMP for WES evaluation, or a procuração (power of attorney) for use in Brazilian courts, our Brazilian Portuguese team delivers certified translations with native-level precision.
Signed Certificate of Accuracy included with every translation — accepted by USCIS, courts, and universities
24-hour turnaround for most certified document translations — same-day rush available
Every project undergoes dual-review quality assurance by a second independent linguist
Brazilian Portuguese presents unique linguistic challenges that machine translation and non-specialist translators consistently fail to handle correctly.
Brazilian and European Portuguese differ substantially in vocabulary ("ônibus" vs. "autocarro"), grammar (gerund vs. infinitive constructions), and legal terminology. Using a European Portuguese translator for Brazilian documents creates errors.
Brazil's cartório notarial system is unique — each cartório has specific numbering, stamps, and formatting. Translators must understand livro (book), folha (page), and termo (entry) references.
Brazilian vital records include averbações (marginal annotations) for marriages, divorces, and name changes that are legally critical but easy for non-specialist translators to miss.
Brazilian Portuguese varies significantly across regions — paulista, carioca, nordestino, and gaúcho vocabularies differ. Documents from different states may use region-specific terminology.

“Certifico que o presente traslado é cópia fiel do que consta do livro nº 42, folha 189, termo 3421.”

“I certify that this transcript is a true copy of the record contained in Book No. 42, Page 189, Entry No. 3421.”

USCIS, immigration courts, and state agencies require certified translations of all foreign-language documents. Our Brazilian Portuguese translations meet every federal and state requirement.
Every Brazilian Portuguese translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy — a sworn statement by the translator attesting that the translation is complete and accurate. This is the minimum requirement for USCIS filings, court submissions, and academic credential evaluations (WES, ECE, NACES members).
A notarized translation adds a notary public’s verification that the translator’s signature is authentic. Some state courts, foreign consulates, and government agencies require notarization in addition to certification. We provide notarized Brazilian Portuguese translations with same-day availability.
For Brazilian Portuguese documents being used internationally, an apostille certifies their authenticity under the Hague Convention. We coordinate apostille services with the Secretary of State’s office, providing a complete package: certified translation + notarization + apostille — ready for international legal use.
