PortuguêsBrazil And Portugal

Certidões, Sentenças And Extratos In Portuguese Document Translation

PortuguêsHandy Words

Certified Portuguese Translation Glossary For Registry Wording

A few Portuguese words shape how your record is read in English. Here is how we translate them. This short guide also shows why a Portuguese certificate translation needs someone who knows both countries.

PortuguêsWhere It's From

São Paulo, Porto And Luanda Formats Known To Our Portuguese Translator UK Team

Brazil and Portugal share a language but not their paperwork. Families trust our professional translation company UK with both styles. Angola, Mozambique and Cape Verde add their own layouts, and we handle those too.

  • 01

    Brazil

    Brazilian records come from a cartório and often carry seals, stamps and digital check codes. We translate each one, so a UK officer can confirm the copy online if they want.

  • 02

    Portugal

    Portuguese records use registo rather than registro, and many are issued online with an access code. We translate the code too, so the certificate can be checked.

  • 03

    Angola, Mozambique And Cape Verde

    These countries follow their own local formats and older record styles. We translate them in the same certified layout, and flag anything that is handwritten or faded.

  • 04

    Names And Surnames

    Portuguese names often hold several surnames, with the mother's usually before the father's. We copy every name in full and in the record's own order, adding a short note if your passport writes it differently.

PortuguêsInto Portuguese

English Into Portuguese For Staff, Consulates And Study Abroad

Now and then English papers need to travel the other way. A company, a consulate or a university may ask. Our English to Portuguese translation can follow Brazilian or European spelling, whichever your reader uses.

  • EN Português

    Policies For Staff In Brazil

    Codes of conduct, handbooks and training slides for Brazilian or Portuguese teams. We keep your company terms consistent and adapt the spelling to the country your staff work in.

  • EN Português

    Consulate And Nationality Files

    A Brazilian or Portuguese consulate in London may want UK birth or marriage certificates in Portuguese before it registers the event. We check the consulate's format before you order.

  • EN Português

    Study And Work In Portugal

    UK degrees, transcripts and police certificates for jobs or courses in Portugal. We can add notarisation and an apostille when the receiving office asks for them.

PortuguêsPrice Per Level

Official Portuguese Translation Costs Per Page Or Document

No surprises here: you see the price before we start. Most visa, GP and university uses need only the certified level. Ask us if you are unsure which official Portuguese translation level your reader wants.

PortuguêsGood To Know

Portuguese Translation Doubts On Averbação, Particles And QR Codes

Here are the questions Portuguese speakers ask just before ordering. They cover notes, apostilles and country differences. If yours is missing, message us and a Portuguese specialist will answer quickly.

My Brazilian Marriage Certificate Has A Divorce Note Added Later. Is That Note Translated Too?
Yes. The averbação is part of the record, so we translate it in full and in the same place. The Home Office often reads that note closely for citizenship applications.
My Name Has A Particle Like Da Or Dos. Will It Stay In The English?
Yes. Particles such as da, de and dos are part of the legal name, so we keep them exactly where the record puts them. If your passport drops one, a short translator's note links the two forms.
Does It Matter If My Portuguese Document Is From Brazil Or Portugal?
Not for the price, but it helps us. Spelling and legal terms differ between the two, so we assign a translator who knows the country your document came from.
My Brazilian Certificate Is A Short Breve Relato Copy. Will A UK Office Take It?
We translate whichever version you hold. Some UK readers, such as HM Passport Office, may want the full inteiro teor copy with every note, so check with them before ordering. If you need the longer copy, the cartório can issue it.
Does My Portuguese Translation For A UK Visa Need To Be Notarised?
In most visa cases, no. For these files UKVI looks for a certified version: the translator confirms accuracy in writing and adds the date, a signature and our contact details. Add notarisation only when your letter or guidance asks for it.
My Portuguese Certificate Is Digital With A QR Code. Can You Translate It?
Yes. Upload the original PDF, not a printout or screenshot. We translate the certificate and the access or check code text, so the reader can verify it online.
My Brazilian Divorce Was Done At A Cartório, Not A Court. What Should I Send?
Send the escritura pública de divórcio and your marriage certificate showing the averbação. We translate both, so the reader sees the divorce deed and the registry note that records it. If a lawyer's declaration came with them, add that too.
