What is a Brazilian Sworn Translation (Tradução Juramentada)?
In Brazil, any foreign document must be legally translated into Portuguese to be accepted by federal agencies, cartórios (notary offices), the Federal Police, or banks. A Sworn Translation (Tradução Juramentada) can only be issued by a Certified Public Translator and Commercial Interpreter (known as a TPIC) who has passed a rigorous civil service examination and is registered with the State Board of Trade (Junta Comercial).
Can a translation agency or company issue a Sworn Translation in Brazil?
Absolutely not. Under Brazilian law (Law No. 14,195/2021), the office of a Public Translator is strictly personal and non-delegable. No translation agency, corporation, or business entity is legally authorized to issue or sign a Sworn Translation. Only individual registered translators possess official public trust (fé pública) granted by the government. Hiring an agency often introduces illegal intermediaries, invalidates the legal status of your documents, and adds unnecessary markup fees. When you work with Renata, you are dealing directly with a fully credentialed TPIC professional.
I am moving to Brazil. Which personal documents require a Sworn Translation?
If you are applying for a Digital Nomad Visa, permanent residency, marriage registration, or student visa, you must translate your official foreign documents. The most common items include: Birth, marriage, or divorce certificates; Background checks and police clearance reports (e.g., FBI background checks); University diplomas, academic transcripts, and professional certificates; Bank statements and proof of income.
Our company is expanding to Brazil. What documents do we need to translate to register our corporation?
To open a subsidiary, establish a local branch, open corporate bank accounts, or register investments with the Central Bank of Brazil (BACEN), your foreign corporate records must undergo a Sworn Translation. We routinely handle: Articles of Incorporation and Corporate Bylaws; Board meeting minutes and shareholder resolutions; Powers of Attorney (PoA) granting local representation; Certificates of Good Standing and tax registration certificates; Financial statements, audit reports, and balance sheets.
Do my documents need the Hague Apostille before you can translate them?
Yes. To be legally recognized in Brazil, your original foreign documents must be apostilled in the country where they were issued before the translation process begins. The Hague Apostille is a seal of authenticity applied by your local government authority (such as the Secretary of State in the US). Please ensure your documents carry this stamp, as the Apostille itself must also be included in our Sworn Translation.
Do I need to mail my physical documents to Brazil?
No, physical shipping is rarely necessary. Thanks to digital modernization in Brazil, we can perform your Sworn Translation using high-resolution scans of your apostilled documents. The final translation is delivered as a secure digital PDF signed with a legally binding ICP-Brasil electronic signature. This digital document is fully valid and legally accepted by all public and private institutions across the entire Brazilian territory.
What are the payment methods and processing times for international clients?
We make it easy for global clients, corporations, and expats to secure our services without needing a Brazilian bank account.
Payment Methods: We accept Zelle (for clients with US bank accounts), secure international credit card links, and Pix (if you already have access to a Brazilian account).
Payment Terms: 50% upfront to initiate the project and 50% upon completion prior to digital delivery. Save 15% on your total invoice by opting for full 100% upfront payment.
Turnaround Time: Typically 2 to 4 business days, depending heavily on the volume and technical complexity of the text.
How can I verify that your credentials and public trust (fé pública) are legitimate?
Entrusting your sensitive legal, financial, and personal documents to someone online requires absolute certainty. In Brazil, public translation is heavily regulated by the federal government under Law No. 14,195/2021. Every legitimate Certified Public Translator and Commercial Interpreter (TPIC) is designated as an independent auxiliary agent of commerce. We exercise a strictly regulated function of public character and are closely monitored by the government. You can read more about how the Brazilian federal government structures, regulates, and guarantees the fé pública (official public trust) of its credentialed translators directly on the official website of the Ministry of Entrepreneurship, Microenterprise, and Small Business / DREI: 👉 Review the Federal Government Framework for Sworn Translators in Brazil. Furthermore, you can independently verify Renata’s official active registration number and licensing credentials at any time by looking up her name directly in the active professional directory on the official JUCESP (São Paulo State Board of Trade) portal.
