Portuguese translations certified for legal use in the United Kingdom and abroad
When you need Portuguese translations for official or formal purposes (e.g. for submission to Government agencies), translations need to be properly certified according to the rules of the country where they will be used, so that they are legally recognised as true and accurate.
Certified translations into Portuguese: we provide translations into Portuguese from all major European, African and Asian languages, certified locally for legal use in:Portugal - Brazil - Angola - Equatorial Guinea - Mozambique - Macau.
Certified translations from Portuguese: We offer certified translations of Portuguese documents into English - French - German - Chinese - Spanish - Arabic and other major languages. Translations can be certified for use in over 100 countries worldwide, including: Australia, Ireland, Jamaica, Bermuda, United Kingdom, France, Italy, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Spain, United Arab Emirates, Germany ....
Because each country has different rules when it comes to certifying translations (so that authorities will not always recognise certifications done abroad), we work internationally across different jurisdictions to certify Portuguese translations locally in the country where the client plans to use them. In partnership with authorised translators and certified translation agencies, law firms, notaries and other local certification specialists, Isarey ensures that all certifications are compliant with applicable legal requirements and that the method of certification fulfils the client’s purpose.

Apostille certification and Consular legalization of Portuguese documents
To certify the authenticity of official documents issued in one country so that they are valid for use in another country requires a special form of certification known as legalization, usually done in the country where the original document was issued.
Depending on the type of documents, the country of issue and the country of use, cross-border attestation usually involves certification by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (Apostille Certification) and sometimes additional certification by the embassy or consulate representing the country where the document will be used (Consular legalization).
Isarey takes care of the entire certification process from start to finish, ensuring that each process is completed efficiently and securely. Our in-country certification agents will ensure compliance with applicable rules and procedures, working with certified Portuguese translators, local notaries, government offices and embassies as required. We pre-check and help prepare your documents to ensure they are valid and eligible for certification, and we’ll arrange worldwide collection and delivery of original documents by insured courier.
