Compare Translation Agencies in Portugal

Portugal does not have a class of sworn translators like Spain does. Instead, the standard approach is certified translation: a translators declaration is signed by a lawyer or notary and attached to the documents. This lawyer certification is typically sufficient for official filings within Portugal.

There is also notarised translation, where the notary themselves performs the certification act rather than a lawyer -- this is used when the receiving authority specifically requires it; it does not change the translation itself, only the certifying authority.

What matters for acceptance is which authority certifies the translation and whether it meets the destination countrys requirements. For international use, documents may need an Apostille (for Hague Convention countries) or consular legalisation (for non-member countries).
