Knowing the issuing body matters: it tells us which layout to expect and which registry references must survive into English untouched.
| Issuing authority | Where | What it issues |
|---|---|---|
| Cartório de Registro Civil | Brazil | Certidões de nascimento, casamento, óbito — issued in inteiro teor or breve relato form |
| Receita Federal | Brazil | CPF taxpayer registry documents |
| Conservatória do Registo Civil | Portugal | Assentos de nascimento and casamento, different layout from Brazilian certidões |
| Ministério da Justiça | Portugal, Brazil | Criminal record certificates (certidão de antecedentes criminais) |
| Conservatórias / Direção de Identificação Civil | Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde | Civil registry certificates in Portuguese with local formatting |
Terms that must be transcribed rather than translated are marked — inventing an English equivalent for a registry code is a classic cause of RFEs.
| Portuguese | English | Handling |
|---|---|---|
| Certidão de nascimento | Birth certificate | Translated |
| Inteiro teor | Full-transcript version | Translated; longer than a breve relato and priced per physical page |
| Breve relato | Summary version | Translated — confirm which one your form requires |
| CPF | Individual taxpayer registry number | Transcribed exactly, never converted |
| Livro, folha, termo | Book, page, entry | Registry references transcribed as printed |
| Histórico escolar | Academic transcript | Translated; grade scale noted, never re-scaled to a US GPA |
| Tradução juramentada | Sworn translation (Brazil) | A Brazilian legal concept — not what USCIS asks for |
How certification works. Every order includes a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy on company letterhead that meets the USCIS requirement (8 CFR 103.2(b)(3)) for a complete English translation with a translator certification. Each certificate carries an order number you can verify at any time at certmytranslation.com/verify. USCIS does not require notarization for supporting documents — see our USCIS guide.
