Certified Translation:
Official Translations with Apostille and Notarized

Certified Translations for Official Documents

Certified translation is essential for documents needing legal validity in Portugal and abroad. These services are often required by public entities, courts, universities, and private entities that need guarantees of authenticity and compliance with legal norms.

At L10N Global, we offer official translations of documents with notary certification, recognition by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and an Apostille of the Hague Convention when necessary.

When is a certified translation necessary?

A certified translation is mandatory for a wide range of documents, including:

• Marriage certificates are needed for civil records, nationality proceedings and marriage recognition abroad.
• Birth certificates are essential for citizenship applications, academic processes and consulate records.
• Criminal records are often required for a residence permit from the Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum (AIMA), emigration/naturalization proceedings, and visas.
• Medical reports are needed for medical treatments abroad, health insurance cases, and claims for reimbursement.
• Death certificates are needed for inheritance and repatriation cases.

How do we guarantee the validity of your certified translation?

Our services strictly comply with legal requirements so that all competent entities can accept your translation. We work exclusively with certified translators to ensure the content maintains its faithfulness and legal value.

We also offer additional services, such as:

• Attorney and notary certification for documents needing official authentication, as required by the Agency for Integration, Migration and Asylum (AIMA) when foreign documents need to be accompanied by a certified translation into Portuguese.
• Apostille of the Hague Convention and recognition by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for international recognition.
