Brazilian Portuguese to English Certified Translation

Native Brazilian Portuguese-Speaking Translators. 100% USCIS Acceptance Guaranteed.

If you are submitting Brazilian Portuguese-language documents to USCIS, a U.S. consulate, a court, or a government agency, the translation attached to your filing has to meet a specific standard: a complete, word-for-word rendering of the original, paired with a signed statement certifying its accuracy. USCIS Translations provides certified Brazilian Portuguese to English translation built for exactly this purpose, backed by a 100% USCIS acceptance guarantee, with digital delivery starting at just 12 hours.

We translate the documents that come up again and again in Brazilian immigration filings — certidão de nascimento (birth certificates), marriage certificates, and academic records — for individuals, universities, courts, and local, state, and federal government agencies alike.

Across all languages, USCIS Translations has translated more than 50 million words for over 60,000 clients, working in 60+ languages under an ISO-certified process — the same standard applied to every Brazilian Portuguese order.

Why Choose USCIS Translations for Brazilian Portuguese Translation

Every Brazilian Portuguese translator on our team is a native or native-level speaker with hands-on experience translating for immigration filings, including documents like the Civil Registry that do not have a direct Western equivalent and require careful, consistent handling.

Each translation ships with a signed certificate of accuracy that satisfies 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), the regulation USCIS cites when it requires foreign-language documents to be translated in full. If a submission is ever rejected due to how it was translated, we correct it at no charge.

Portuguese (Brazil) Documents We Translate

USCIS Translations translates the full range of Brazilian civil, academic, and legal records, most often for immigration purposes. Start with our most-requested document pages:

Certified vs. Notarized Brazilian Portuguese Translation

USCIS does not require notarization — it requires a certification statement from the translator or translation company attesting to their competence in both languages and the accuracy of the translation. That statement is included by default on every order. If a court, school, or employer separately asks for notarization on top of certification, we offer that as a $10 add-on at checkout.

✓ CERTIFIED (REQUIRED BY USCIS)

Signed statement from the translator attesting to competency and accuracy. Included on every order by default.

+ NOTARIZED (ADD-ON AVAILABLE)

Notary public verifies the translator’s identity and signature. Required by some courts, schools, or foreign consulates — add on at checkout for $9.

Brazilian vs. European Portuguese

Brazilian Portuguese differs from European Portuguese in vocabulary, spelling conventions, and some grammar. Brazilian civil documents — certidão de nascimento, certidão de casamento, histórico escolar — follow their own formatting conventions issued by Brazilian civil registry offices (cartórios). Our Brazilian Portuguese translators are matched specifically to this variant and document format, not treated interchangeably with European Portuguese.

  • Immigration attorneys assembling case files

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about certified Brazilian Portuguese translation for USCIS and immigration filings.

A certified Brazilian Portuguese translation is a complete, accurate rendering of your document into English, accompanied by a signed statement from the translator or translation company attesting to their competency and the accuracy of the work — this signed statement is what makes it “certified.”
Yes. USCIS requires that any document in a foreign language be submitted with a full English translation and the translator’s certification of accuracy, per 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3). Every order we prepare for USCIS use meets this standard.
