Sworn Translation

Sworn translation with public faith, accepted throughout Brazil.

For foreign documents that need official validity in Brazil — and Brazilian documents that require public faith. Produced by a public translator registered with the Board of Trade.

A sworn (public) translation is the only one with public faith in Brazil. It is required whenever a foreign-language document needs to produce legal effects before Brazilian government bodies, registries, universities and courts.

What a sworn translation is

An official translation by a public translator appointed and registered with the Board of Trade, carrying public faith and valid nationwide.

  • Signed statement of public faith
  • Public translator’s stamp and ID
  • Valid before any authority in Brazil

When you need it

To use foreign-language documents in Brazil — or to present Brazilian documents where public faith is required.

  • Foreign certificates and diplomas
  • Registry and court processes
  • Enrolment at Brazilian universities

Brazilian or destination-country?

If the document will be used outside Brazil, the destination country usually defines the accepted translator (NAATI, traducteur assermenté, etc.). We advise which one you need before starting.

  • Use in Brazil → Brazilian sworn
  • Use abroad → destination official translation
  • Unsure? We check with you
