From livrete to Título do Veículo

Angolan vehicles used to have two documents: the livrete describing the vehicle and the título de registo de propriedade automóvel proving ownership. Decree 195/22 merged them into a single Título do Veículo, issued by the Ministry of the Interior through the National Police and issued since September 2023. It is valid indefinitely, and transfers that do not change the vehicle go through the Ministry of Justice's motor vehicle registry.

The title gives the holder's full name and identity or company registration number, and the make, model, plate number, engine and chassis numbers, tyre sizes, engine capacity, seating, weights and colour. We copy the plate, engine and chassis numbers character by character, since a US DMV or customs broker will match them. Units and weights are kept as printed. See our Portuguese page.

Older documents remain valid

Vehicles registered before the decree keep their livrete and ownership title, which remain valid; the new title replaces them only when they are lost, damaged or changed, or the owner asks. You may therefore hold either the old pair or the new title, and we translate whichever you have. If the vehicle changed hands, the transfer record is translated with the title, so the chain of owners is visible.

For importing a vehicle into the US, customs and the DMV also look at the bill of sale and export papers. Each is translated in full. For the driver, see the Angolan driver's license page. Angola is not a party to the Apostille Convention, so where a US court or agency wants an authenticated original, the document is legalised by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MIREX) and then by the consulate of the country where it will be used. USCIS does not ask for that.

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.
