FAQ / I have a document issued in Portugal (or any other Portuguese-speaking country). Does it need a sworn translation to be acceptable in Brazil?


The technically correct answer would be "no". First, the Brazilian Federal Constitution, in Art. 13th says that "The Portuguese language is the official tongue of the Federal Republic of Brazil". It doesn‘t leave room for regional variations of our language.

Second, every Certified Public Translator in Brazil is implicitly licensed in Portuguese, and at least one foreign language. There is no such thing as a Brazilian Certified Public translator licensed for European, Continental, or Iberian Portuguese, as they are not seen as foreign languages by our Constitution.
