certified translation

Brazil is a bureaucratic nationOnly translations from an appointed sworn translator are legally valid

If you're applying for residency, a visa, or opening a business in Brazil, your foreign documents need to be translated. Brazilian law requires a sworn translator ("tradutora juramentada" or "tradutora pública") for any document to be legally recognized by government offices, universities, banks, or notaries.A regular translation, even a good one, won't be accepted, and trying to use one will only cause delays.I'm registered with JUCIS-RS (Brazil's Commercial Registry) under registration #353, which means my translations carry full legal validity across Brazil.

FAQ

Do I need a sworn translator if my translation is just for personal use?
If the document is going to any official institution in Brazil — government office, university, bank, notary — yes. If it's purely informal, a regular translation may be enough. I also work with regular translations, if that's the case.Can you translate documents that are already in Brazil?
Yes. Documents can be sent digitally from anywhere.Do you accept international payments?
Yes. Wise is available for clients without a Brazilian bank account or CPF.How long does it take?
Most standard documents (birth certificates, diplomas, etc.) take 24–48 hours. Larger documents or contracts may take longer. I'll confirm the timeline when I quote your document.What if my document needs to be apostilled too?
Usually, you apostille the document in its country of origin first. The apostille itself also needs to be translated, so send me the document with the apostille already attached, and I'll include it in the translation.
