Certified English translations of Brazilian and Portuguese documents for use in Ireland. We translate the certidão de nascimento for a marriage notification, the histórico escolar for university, the CNH for car hire and the inteiro teor copies that show every note on the record. Translators are native Portuguese speakers who keep each ã, ç and compound surname exactly as written. Every translation includes a signed Certificate of Accuracy, our stamp and a reference number, for €29.95 per page, most orders ready in 24 hours.
Census 2022 counted 43,985 people speaking Portuguese at home, up from 20,833 in 2016, and most of that growth came from Brazil: almost 5,200 people came to Ireland from Brazil in the year before the census. Dublin City alone had 14,643 Portuguese speakers. Brazilian documents need an English translation for almost every Irish use, and because Brazil is outside the EU, some also need an apostille from Brazil. Clients from Portugal, Angola and Mozambique bring their own formats, which we know just as well.

Certidão de Nascimento
Issued by the Cartório de Registro Civil. For Irish use a recent certidão em inteiro teor, the full-content copy, shows every annotation, and we reproduce the 32-digit matrícula number exactly.
Certidão de Casamento
States the regime de bens, such as comunhão parcial de bens, and carries any averbação of divorce or name change. A recently issued copy shows your current status for marriage notification or an EUTR file.
Sentença de divórcio / Escritura pública de divórcio
Brazilian divorces are granted by a court or, where uncontested, by public deed at a cartório. We translate either one, together with the averbação on your marriage certificate that records the divorce.
Certidão de Antecedentes Criminais
Issued online by the Polícia Federal with a validation code, or by the state civil police. We translate the code and issue date so an Irish employer can check the certificate is genuine and recent.
Certificado de Conclusão do Ensino Médio
Translated with the histórico escolar listing subjects and grades for each year. Irish universities want the whole record in English, so both documents are delivered as one consistent translation.
Diploma de Graduação
Brazilian bacharelado and licenciatura diplomas often carry registration stamps on the back. QQI NARIC wants the parchment and transcript officially translated to place the qualification on the Irish framework.
Carteira Nacional de Habilitação (CNH)
The CNH doubles as an identity document in Brazil. Car hire firms and insurers in Ireland may ask for an English version, so we translate the categories, first-licence date and observações field.
Registro Geral (RG) / Cartão de Cidadão
A Brazilian RG or Portuguese Cartão de Cidadão is sometimes needed to show parents’ names or a CPF number. We translate front and back, including the filiação (parentage) fields.
No account required. No commitment. Exact price in seconds.

The HSE Civil Registration Service needs three months’ notice and both partners’ birth certificates, translated if not in English or Irish. A Brazilian certificate may also need an apostille, which Brazilian cartórios can add to the original.
Brazilians married to a Portuguese, Italian or other EU citizen apply to ISD under EU Treaty Rights. A Portuguese certificate with a multilingual standard form needs no translation; a Brazilian certidão always does.
Engineers, teachers and IT professionals often ask NARIC Ireland to compare a Brazilian bacharelado with an Irish award. We translate the diploma and histórico escolar together, keeping course codes, carga horária and grades.
Irish universities admitting Brazilian graduates to a master’s or PhD ask for certified translations of the diploma and transcript. We keep course titles faithful to the original and explain Brazilian grading terms in a translator’s note where useful.
Parents who married in Brazil and have a baby in Ireland show their marriage certificate when registering the birth. The HSE wants the certidão de casamento translated by a certified translation service, and we usually deliver within a day.
Brazil normally wants foreign documents translated in Brazil by a tradutor público (tradução juramentada), and Portugal often has translations certified by a notary, lawyer or consulate. Check with the receiving office before ordering an English to Portuguese translation.
€29.95 per page for Portuguese, the same as every other language. Most certificates fit on a single page (300 source words). Digital delivery is free; a hard copy by tracked post can be added at checkout.
Certified translations for clients all over Ireland, ordered online and delivered by email, with hard copies by tracked post.
