Certified Portuguese passport translation for UK & worldwide use

For immigration, visa and citizenship applications, even a minor spelling error or formatting issue in a passport translation can lead to delays or refusals. Our Portuguese passport translators work to strict quality procedures, mirroring the structure of the original document and verifying all names, dates and passport numbers before delivery.

We provide certified translations that are suitable for the UK Home Office, British embassies, consulates, universities, banks and notaries, as well as immigration authorities in Europe, North America, South America and beyond. Each translation includes a signed and stamped translator’s certificate confirming accuracy and completeness.

Our pricing is transparent: certified Portuguese passport translation starts from £29.90 per page, with standard text translation from £0.05 per word. There are no hidden fees, and we confirm the final cost before starting work. You can upload clear scans or photos of your passport via our secure online system and receive a PDF of the certified translation by email.

Clients often need Portuguese passport translations together with other ID or travel documents. If you are working through a wider immigration or relocation process, you can combine your passport with other certified translations under our certified translation services to keep everything consistent and handled by a single provider.

As a global agency with a 98% customer return rate, Kings of Translation focuses on responsive communication and careful handling of your personal information. Our systems use encrypted file transfer, and only approved team members can view your documents, helping you meet both official and privacy requirements.

UK authorities typically require passport translations to be “certified” rather than simple or informal translations. Our certification wording meets UK standards, clearly stating that the translation is an accurate and complete representation of the original Portuguese passport and including our company details and contact information.

Whether you are applying for a UK work visa, family visa, student visa, settled status or naturalisation as a British citizen, our Portuguese passport translation service is designed to meet Home Office expectations. We also support applications to other national authorities, such as EU member states, Canada, Australia and the United States, where certified translations are widely required.

Turnaround is usually 24–48 hours for a standard Portuguese passport, depending on clarity and any additional pages or stamps. If you are working to immigration or travel deadlines, let us know when ordering and we will prioritise your project where possible. Express options can often be arranged for urgent cases.

In many immigration processes, a translated passport is requested alongside translated birth or marriage certificates, residence permits or police clearance documents. If you are also renewing visas or proving identity abroad, you may benefit from our broader passport translation services, which cover multiple languages and document types under the same quality framework.

Our team includes native speakers of both Brazilian and European Portuguese, ensuring that regional spellings, place names and official terminology are handled correctly. This can be particularly important when your application involves authorities in Portugal, Brazil or Portuguese-speaking countries as well as British institutions.

The process is designed to be simple and fully online. First, you send us a clear, legible scan or photo of your Portuguese passport, including the main information page and any pages with relevant visas, endorsements or residency stamps. Our project managers assess the document and confirm pricing and turnaround before you proceed.

Once you approve the quote, we assign the work to a specialist Portuguese translator with experience in legal and identity documentation. They reproduce the content faithfully in English (or your required target language), matching names, numbers and expiry dates exactly as written and following the structure of the original passport.

After translation, a second linguist or quality reviewer checks the text for consistency and accuracy, paying close attention to diacritics in Portuguese names, place names and machine-readable lines. Any ambiguities are clarified with you before finalising, to avoid discrepancies with other documents you may be submitting.

We then prepare the certification statement on our headed paper, attach the translation and, where requested, include a copy of the original passport image in the file set. For most UK and international authorities, a digitally signed and stamped PDF is sufficient. If a physical original is required, we can arrange tracked postage on request.

Because passport translations are usually part of wider cross-border processes, we ensure that our terminology and formatting align with typical visa and immigration requirements. Our specialists can also coordinate with your solicitor, relocation consultant or university admissions team to ensure the translation meets their internal guidelines.

Kings of Translation serves clients moving from Portugal, Brazil and other Portuguese-speaking regions to the UK, as well as those relocating from the UK to other countries. Our certified Portuguese passport translations are widely accepted for immigration, study, employment, banking, property purchase and international travel procedures.

While examples often focus on the UK Home Office, our translations are prepared to be used internationally. Many clients submit the same Portuguese passport translation to authorities in multiple countries, such as UK visa centres, European embassies, North American immigration services or overseas employers, without needing separate translations for each jurisdiction.

Data security is central when working with personal identity documents. We use secure, encrypted channels for file transfer and storage, and we only retain your documents for as long as needed to complete the translation and address any follow-up questions. On request, we can delete files earlier once you confirm receipt and acceptance.

As a global translation agency with certified translations accepted worldwide, we combine robust processes with a highly customer-focused approach. Our 98% customer return rate reflects diligent communication, clear timelines and consistent quality. You will have a dedicated point of contact for your Portuguese passport translation who can answer questions and guide you through the requirements.

If you later need additional documents translated for the same application, such as police clearances, bank statements or education records, we can keep your details and spelling conventions consistent across all files. This joined-up approach helps authorities easily match your translated documents to your original passport information.
