Certified Portuguese (Brazil) apostille translation services

Streamline your cross-border paperwork with a single, coordinated workflow. We translate your documents into or from Brazilian Portuguese, certify the translation, notarize it as required, and obtain the apostille from the appropriate Secretary of State or authority. Whether you’re presenting U.S. documents in Brazil or Brazilian documents in the United States, we manage every step with care.

Our certified translation rate is $32.90 per page (for most one-page civil documents), and standard translation is $0.06 per word for non-certified content. Notarization and apostille certification are billed separately, since fees vary by state and processing speed. Translation is typically completed within 24–48 hours; notarization is often same-day; apostille issuance usually takes 1–3 weeks depending on the state and workload.

We work with commonly apostilled materials such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, FBI background checks, diplomas, transcripts, powers of attorney, corporate documents, and more. If your documents are already apostilled in Brazil and you need English translation for U.S. use, we can translate the apostille itself and the underlying documents while preserving official formatting and seals in the translation.

As a global translation agency, our certified translations are widely recognized for immigration, legal, academic, and business purposes. In the U.S., our work is accepted by USCIS and other government agencies; internationally, apostille certification supports recognition across 120+ Hague Convention countries, including Brazil. You won’t need to coordinate with multiple vendors—our team keeps the entire process efficient and transparent.

Kings of Translation delivers certified translations that meet U.S. immigration standards. Every project includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy, matching names, dates, seals, and references exactly so authorities can verify your documents with ease. Our apostille coordination ensures the final package is properly notarized and authenticated for international recognition.

For U.S.-bound cases, we handle translations that meet USCIS requirements; for Brazil-bound cases, we arrange apostille on U.S.-issued documents so your paperwork is valid for Brazilian institutions under the Hague Apostille Convention. If consular legalization or specific state requirements apply, we’ll guide you through your options to keep your timeline and budget on track.

Step 1 – Translation: Send us clear scans or photos of your documents. We translate into or from Brazilian Portuguese, mirror the layout where helpful, and include a signed certification. Typical turnaround is 24–48 hours for standard civil documents. Complex legal or technical files may require additional time, which we’ll confirm upfront.

Step 2 – Notarization: When required for apostille, we notarize the translator’s certification. This helps the Secretary of State verify the authenticity of the signature. Notarization is usually completed the same day your translation is finalized, keeping your timeline moving without extra steps on your side.

Step 3 – Apostille: We submit to the relevant Secretary of State (or competent authority) to obtain the apostille. Timeframes vary by state and season; most requests finalize within 1–3 weeks. If you have a deadline, ask about expedited submission options available in certain jurisdictions. We’ll return the apostilled package according to your delivery preference.

Brazil participates in the Hague Apostille Convention, meaning an apostille is sufficient for document recognition in most cases—no additional legalization is required. Note: For use inside Brazil, certain institutions may request a sworn translator (tradutor juramentado). If that applies to your case, we’ll advise you early and help you choose the correct pathway for acceptance.
