What kind of certification does Brazil require for translated documents?

The translator provides a signed statement confirming the translation is complete and faithful to the original. This certificate must be attached to both the original document and its translation. Our team uses qualified professional translators experienced with Brazilian requirements. The certificate includes their credentials and contact information for verification by the receiving authority in Brazil.

Can I use the same certified translation everywhere in Brazil?

Yes, a properly prepared certified translation from Leeds meeting these requirements is valid nationwide across Brazil. Federal, state, and municipal authorities all accept this format when processing foreign documents. The translation must be into Brazilian Portuguese rather than European Portuguese to avoid confusion. The certificate of accuracy should be current and clearly identify the source document.
