Brazilian Portuguese, Not European Portuguese
That includes older documents that use pre-reform spelling, not just documents issued after Brazil's most recent orthographic standard. Portuguese isn't one-size-fits-all for translation purposes, so here's how we handle it:
- Brazilian vs. European Portuguese
- different vocabulary, spelling conventions, and document formats than the Portuguese spoken and written in Portugal; we translate the Brazilian variant specifically, not a generic blend of the two.
- Common Brazilian document terms
- Certidão de Nascimento (birth certificate), Certidão de Casamento (marriage certificate), RG and CPF numbers, Carteira de Trabalho (work card), and Histórico Escolar (academic transcript) are all handled correctly, in the terms U.S. agencies expect.
- Older and newer spelling conventions
- Brazil's 1990 Orthographic Agreement changed some spellings gradually through 2016; our translators recognize both older and newer Brazilian Portuguese spelling, so a document issued years ago translates just as accurately.
- Document from Portugal instead?
- if your document was issued in Portugal rather than Brazil, see our dedicated Portuguese (Portugal) Translation page, built for that variant specifically.
What that means for your document
Treating all Portuguese as interchangeable is a common mistake, and it's where translations run into trouble. Vocabulary, spelling, and document conventions differ meaningfully between the Brazilian and European variants, and a translator unfamiliar with Brazil's specific terminology can produce a technically readable translation that still looks inconsistent to a careful reviewer. Matching your document to a translator who works in the correct variant from the start avoids that risk entirely.

The translation matched our birth certificate exactly, and it was accepted by USCIS on the first try. Turnaround was faster than I expected.

Questions & Answers
Frequently asked questions.
The questions people ask before ordering a Portuguese (Brazil) translation.
How long does a certified Portuguese (Brazil) translation take?
Most are completed within 24–48 hours. Expedited and same-day delivery are available when a deadline is close.
Will USCIS accept my certified Portuguese (Brazil) translation?
Yes. We provide a signed Certificate of Accuracy with every translation, the standard format USCIS and most U.S. agencies require for Portuguese-language documents.
Is Brazilian Portuguese different from the Portuguese spoken in Portugal?
Yes. The two variants differ in vocabulary, spelling, and document conventions. We translate Brazilian Portuguese specifically on this page; if your document is from Portugal, our Portuguese (Portugal) Translation page is built for that variant instead.
My document is from Portugal, not Brazil. Should I use this page?
We'd recommend our Portuguese (Portugal) Translation page instead, so your document is matched to a translator experienced with that variant specifically.
What documents do you most commonly translate from Brazilian Portuguese?
Birth certificates, marriage certificates, and diplomas or academic transcripts (Histórico Escolar) are the most common, but we translate any personal, legal, or business document, including ones referencing RG or CPF numbers.
Can a bilingual friend or family member translate my Portuguese documents instead?
No. USCIS and most agencies require an independent, certified translator, not a relative or friend. A self-interested translation is typically rejected.
Do you translate Brazilian legal and business documents too, not just personal ones?
Yes. We translate contracts, corporate records, and legal filings from Brazilian Portuguese, in addition to personal and immigration documents.
How much does a certified Portuguese (Brazil) translation cost?
Standard certified translation is $18 per page. Expedited is $28 per page for a close deadline. Notarization is a $9 per-document add-on, if requested.
