Certified translations in Portugal
Translation of documents intended for public authorities, courts, universities, companies and other organisations in Portugal or abroad.
Who translates and who certifies?
I carry out the translation. Certification is a separate legal formality carried out by a person or body authorised under Portuguese law, such as a notary, lawyer, solicitor, registry official or recognised chamber of commerce, depending on the applicable procedure.
Where the client wants an end-to-end service, I can arrange the necessary certification formalities with the competent professional or body.
Third-party costs: certification fees are shown separately and passed on in full to the certifying entity. I do not add a mark-up or commission to those fees.
