Services
At Alpha Language Consulting Traduções, we provide Sworn (or Certified) Translation services that are characterized by excellence, agility, and full legal compliance. Our team includes certified translators who are duly qualified and registered with the Commercial Boards of the Brazilian states, ensuring the legal validity of translated documents in both domestic and international contexts.
What is a Sworn (or Certified) Translation?
Sworn (or Certified) Translation, also known as public translation, is required in several formal situations, such as legal, academic, administrative, and immigration proceedings. It has public trust, meaning that it is officially recognized by government agencies, educational institutions, courts, and consulates.
A Sworn (or Certified) Translation can be delivered in two formats: printed on letterhead paper with the translator’s signature, or as a digitally signed PDF certified by ICP Brazil. Both formats include the translator’s identification and ensure that the content remains faithful to the original, including stamps, seals, signatures, and other relevant graphic elements.
When is Sworn (or Certified) Translation required?
Brazilian law stipulates that documents in a foreign language are only considered legally valid in the country if accompanied by a Portuguese version prepared by a certified translator. This requirement is outlined in the Constitution, the Civil Code, and the Code of Civil Procedure.
Documents that typically require a Sworn (or Certified) Translation include: • Birth, marriage, and death certificates
