Do You Need a Certified Translation of a Portuguese Birth Certificate for USCIS?
US Citizenship and Immigration Services requires documents submitted in a foreign language to be accompanied by a complete English translation. This requirement applies to birth certificates and other civil status records issued in Portuguese.
If your original birth certificate is written in Portuguese, you should not submit it on its own without the required English translation.
According to USCIS regulations, any document containing foreign-language text submitted as part of an immigration application must be accompanied by a full English translation. The translator must certify that the translation is complete and accurate and that they are competent to translate from the foreign language into English.
This means that your Portuguese birth certificate should be translated in its entirety, including:
Full names of the registered person and parents.
Date and place of birth.
Registration date and certificate number.
Names of civil registry offices.
Names and titles of issuing authorities.
Official stamps and seals.
Registration annotations and marginal notes.
Signatures and other relevant document information.
Even details that may appear insignificant should not be overlooked. For example, a handwritten annotation, a reference to a civil registry book or a note concerning a subsequent change in personal details may contain information relevant to your immigration application.
Our professional translators pay attention to these details to ensure that the English version accurately reflects the information appearing in the original Portuguese document.

We provide certified English translations of different types of Portuguese birth registration documents.
Depending on the country and the circumstances in which your birth was registered, you may have one of the following documents.
2. Brazilian Birth Certificate – Certidão de Nascimento
Brazilian birth certificates are commonly used in US immigration applications involving Brazilian nationals and individuals born in Brazil.
Depending on the issuing registry office and the document's date of issue, a Brazilian Certidão de Nascimento may contain extensive information about the registered person, parents, grandparents, registration details and subsequent civil status amendments.
We provide certified Portuguese to English translations of Brazilian birth certificates, including updated certificates and full-content versions where available.

What Does USCIS Require from a Certified Birth Certificate Translation?
One of the most important aspects of preparing your immigration documents is understanding the difference between a certified translation and a notarised translation.
USCIS requires a complete English translation accompanied by a translator's certification of accuracy and competence.

That the translation is accurate.
That the translator is competent to translate from Portuguese into English.
The translator's name.
The translator's signature.
The date of certification.
Relevant contact information.
USCIS does not generally require a translator to be a US-based certified translator, nor does its standard foreign-language document rule require notarisation of the translation.
Our Portuguese to English certified translations are supplied with a signed and stamped Certificate of Translation Accuracy containing the relevant certification information.
This certificate accompanies the translated birth certificate and can be submitted together with the original Portuguese document as part of your immigration application.
Please note that USCIS determines whether submitted documents satisfy the requirements of a particular application. Our certification confirms the accuracy of the translation; it does not guarantee approval of your immigration petition.

From $25 USD per document.

Do You Need to Notarise a Portuguese Birth Certificate Translation for USCIS?
This is a common question among applicants preparing foreign-language documents for US immigration purposes.
In general, USCIS requires a certified English translation rather than a notarised translation.
A translator's certification confirms that the English translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate from Portuguese into English.
Notarisation is a separate procedure in which a notary public verifies a signature or performs another legally recognised notarial act. It does not independently establish the linguistic accuracy of a translation.
Therefore, you should not automatically pay for notarisation unless it is specifically requested by the organisation or authority handling your documents.
If your Portuguese birth certificate is also being submitted to another institution, such as a court, university, embassy or foreign government authority, that institution may have different requirements.
We provide certified translations and can discuss additional documentation requirements before you place your order.
