Official documents for immigration authorities, notarial offices, universities, and civil registries require translations that are legally accepted in the receiving jurisdiction. Format, certification, and accuracy all matter. We provide certified translations for documents used in Portuguese and EU immigration, academic credential recognition, and civil registration procedures.
The most common documents we translate in this category are birth, marriage, and death certificates; national identity documents and passports; academic diplomas, transcripts, and certificates; criminal record certificates and police clearances; power of attorney and notarial documents; and financial or employment statements for visa purposes. Our certified translators are authorised to issue translations that comply with the requirements of AIMA (the Portuguese immigration and asylum authority), the Ministry of Justice, and Portuguese notarial offices. For documents going to foreign authorities, we coordinate apostille requirements and work with notarial offices that provide the stamp where required. We confirm certification requirements before starting work so that the completed translation is accepted on first submission.
