The RG is issued by the state, so you may hold several
Brazil's RG (Registro Geral) has historically been issued by each state's public security department, which means one person can legitimately hold more than one RG, with different numbers, issued in different states at different times. That is not fraud and not an error.
A national identity card, the CIN, is being rolled out using the CPF as the single number, precisely to end that. Both are in circulation and we name the issuing body and state as printed.
The CPF, and what carries it
The CPF is the tax number and the identifier that actually ties a Brazilian's documents together — it appears on the RG, the CNH driving licence, bank records and the new CIN. It is reproduced exactly.
Portuguese is not Spanish, and a translator who works in one does not automatically work in the other. See our Brazilian birth certificate page and our Portuguese page.
Every field is translated, including the ones US cards do not have
National identity cards carry fields US documents do not: religion, ethnicity or nationality-within-the-state, blood type, marital status, the father's or mother's name, a registered address, an expiry that governs rights rather than travel. A translator who quietly omits one because it has no US equivalent has edited a government document — and it is frequently the omitted field that a file actually turns on.
So every printed field is translated, labelled as the card labels it, and the identity number is reproduced exactly, never translated. Those numbers commonly encode a date of birth, a sex or a place of registration, so altering the digits alters the record. Both sides are translated, because the reverse is where the address, the issuing office and the machine-readable zone usually sit.
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 a page is up to 250 words.
A standard translation is for business or personal use where certification is not needed, such as CVs, client intake forms or marketing material, and is billed at the same $24.95 per page of up to 250 words.
Frequently asked questions
I have two RGs with different numbers.
Legitimate, because the RG has been issued state by state. We name the issuing state on each and reproduce both numbers exactly.
What is the CIN?
The new national identity card, built on the CPF as a single number. Both it and older RGs are in circulation.
Is the CPF translated?
Reproduced exactly. It is the number that ties your documents together.
