Getting Portuguese right for each country
Brazilian and European Portuguese differ in spelling, vocabulary and the names of official records, and Cape Verdean documents often mix Portuguese with local usage. Translating into Portuguese, we match the country that will read it. Translating into English, we keep each office’s official terms clear, and we keep names and dates consistent with your passport across the whole file. For Portugal residency and Golden Visa applications, we can prepare the apostilles and translations together so the file is complete. See Portugal Golden Visa documents.
Frequently asked questions
Do you translate Brazilian documents for USCIS?
Yes. Certified English translations accepted by USCIS.
Can you translate my FBI check into Portuguese for Portugal?
Yes, after the federal apostille. We can handle both. See Portugal.
How much does it cost?
Pricing depends on word count and formatting. Upload your document for an exact quote.
What is a certidão de inteiro teor?
It’s a full-text copy of a civil record, showing every entry and annotation. Many citizenship and residency applications ask for it instead of the shorter certificate. Check which one your recipient wants before you order.
Can you translate Cape Verdean documents?
Yes. Cape Verdean civil records are usually in Portuguese, and we translate them for USCIS, courts and schools.
