Certified Brazilian Portuguese birth certificate translation for immigration

USCIS and most U.S. authorities require a complete, word-for-word certified translation of your Brazilian birth certificate. Our service includes a signed certification statement affirming accuracy and completeness, along with the translator’s credentials and contact details. This package meets USCIS submission standards, as well as common requirements for state IDs, passport applications, and academic evaluations.

Brazilian records often contain diacritics, multiple surnames, handwritten annotations, and registry office references (Cartório, Livro, Folha, Termo). We preserve these details faithfully and transliterate names when needed for clarity across systems. If your document includes stamps, amendments, or marginal notes, they are translated and clearly indicated to avoid delays.

Turnaround is fast: most single-page birth certificates are delivered within 24 hours. Need it sooner? Choose our rush option at checkout. Pricing is transparent—certified translations start at $32.90 per page, while standard (non-certified) translations are $0.06 per word. We can also produce a notarized translator’s affidavit or ship printed copies if the receiving institution requests them.

Moving between countries can introduce different standards. While USCIS does not require notarization or an apostille on the translation, some foreign consulates and EU authorities may. Our team advises on local expectations and formats to support worldwide acceptance.

Kings of Translation is an ATA member and BBB A+ rated. Every document undergoes a rigorous quality process with native Brazilian Portuguese and English linguists. Secure 256-bit SSL encryption protects your files during upload and delivery. If you also need ID pages or travel records translated, we can help with passport translation to keep your case file consistent.

You receive a professionally formatted English translation mirroring the structure of your Brazilian birth certificate, plus a signed certification letter. The package is delivered as a secure PDF ready for online submission or printing. Upon request, we can add a notarized affidavit and ship hard copies for institutions that require originals by mail.

Brazilian Portuguese differs from European Portuguese in terms, abbreviations, and civil registry phrasing. Our native linguists specialize in Brazilian variants, ensuring correct rendering of parental names, places of birth, registry office references, and annotations such as “Certidão de Nascimento (Inteiro Teor)” or “2ª via.” Accurate interpretation saves time and prevents rejections.

We follow strict quality checks: translator preparation, editor review, and final QA for dates, names, and diacritics. If your record contains illegible sections, we clearly flag them and request a clearer scan to protect compliance. You can upload photos, PDFs, or scans—just ensure all corners and stamps are visible and focused for best results.

Our customer-first approach means clear communication throughout. Expect updates at key steps, fast responses to questions, and free clarifications if an authority requests minor adjustments. Because our translations are accepted worldwide, they support immigration, study abroad, work visas, legal name changes, and international business onboarding.

Ordering is simple: upload your file, confirm details, and pay securely. We confirm spelling for names as they should appear in English and provide delivery estimates before we begin. Standard documents are returned within 24 hours; multi-page records may take slightly longer depending on volume and complexity.
