About this service
We produce sworn translations of personal documents including birth, marriage, divorce, and death certificates, national identity documents, passports, and criminal record certificates. We translate academic credentials including university diplomas, transcripts, and professional qualification certificates, for use in Declaracoes de Equivalencia at Portuguese universities and for professional recognition under EU directive 2005/36/EC. For immigration purposes, we translate the full set of documents required by AIMA (Agencia para a Integracao, Migracao e Asilo) for residence applications, visas, and citizenship proceedings. For corporate purposes, we translate articles of association, shareholder agreements, notarial deeds, and commercial registry certificates for use in cross-border transactions. We coordinate apostille stamps where required, working with the relevant issuing authority in Portugal. For documents originating abroad, we advise on the correct legalisation procedure for the issuing country before ordering the translation to avoid wasted cost.
