Angola's urban lease law

Residential and commercial leases in Angola are governed by the Urban Lease Law (Law 26/15). A lease must be in writing; a lease for more than six years, which is subject to registration, and a lease for commerce, industry or a liberal profession must be made by public deed (escritura pública). Only buildings with a habitability certificate issued after an inspection less than six years earlier can be let, and the lease must mention it.

Rent must be set in kwanzas, and a clause fixing it in foreign currency is void. The parties may not agree to more than three months of rent in advance. We translate the clauses as written, including the habitability reference and any registration or notarial details. Monthly rent, deposit and term are copied exactly, and any clause on rent updates is translated in full. See our Portuguese page.

US uses of an Angolan lease

In a US file an Angolan lease usually proves residence, shared residence for a spousal petition, or income from property. Officers look at the parties' names, the address, the term and the rent. We translate every page, signature block and stamp, and copy dates and amounts exactly. Where a lease was renewed, send the renewal or addendum too, so the translation covers the whole period you need to prove.

If the lease was signed by a representative, the power of attorney behind it may also be needed, and we translate that as well. If you have rent receipts or bank transfers that match the lease, see the Angolan bank statement page. For the property itself, see the property deed page. Where a US court needs an authenticated original, Angola uses legalisation through MIREX, not an apostille.

What USCIS requires

Under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3), a foreign-language document must be accompanied by a complete English translation and the translator's certification that it is accurate. Every seal, stamp and marginal note is part of the document, so every one is translated.

State agencies set their own rules — see government agencies — and what our certification states is on this page.

How it works

Upload a photo or a scan of your document, pick the language pair and check out online. You never have to mail originals: a legible copy is all we need.

A professional human translator, never machine translation, translates the document word for word and mirrors the layout of the original. Every certified translation ships with a signed Certificate of Translation Accuracy that meets the requirements of USCIS, courts and universities.

Your translation is delivered digitally, usually within 24 hours for documents of one to three pages, and same-day delivery is available. If anything needs adjusting, we revise it.

Certified vs. standard translation

A certified translation is a word-for-word translation accompanied by a signed statement attesting to its accuracy and completeness. It is what official bodies require: USCIS, courts, universities and government agencies. Certified translations are $24.95 per page, where one sheet of your document is one page, with no word cap.

A standard translation is the same professional human translation without the certificate, for when you only need to understand the content or for internal or informal use. It is billed at the same $24.95 per page with no word cap.
