Certified Translation
Description
Sworn translator (Tradutor Juramentado) certified translation of Portuguese documents into English, Russian, Ukrainian, Spanish, French, or German.
About This Document
Certified Translation (Tradução Certificada or Tradução Juramentada) in Portugal refers to translations performed by sworn translators (tradutores juramentados) who are officially recognized by Portuguese authorities. These translations carry legal validity and are accepted by courts, government agencies, and official institutions both in Portugal and internationally.
Sworn translators in Portugal must be certified by the Ministry of Justice and are authorized to translate documents with legal effect. Their translations include an official certification statement, the translator's stamp, and signature, confirming the accuracy and completeness of the translation.
Certified translations are required whenever official Portuguese documents need to be used in non-Portuguese-speaking countries, or when foreign documents need to be submitted to Portuguese authorities. Common documents requiring certified translation include birth certificates, marriage certificates, academic diplomas, contracts, and court documents.
