Disability documents from Cabo Verde

Cabo Verde's general framework for the prevention, habilitation, rehabilitation and participation of persons with disabilities is set by Decree-Law 21/2019. In practice, a Cape Verdean file may contain a medical report, a certificate from a health board or hospital, or a decision on a social benefit or pension, each written in Portuguese and stamped by the issuing body. We translate whichever document you have, in full, with its stamps, signatures and dates.

Many certificates express a degree of incapacity as a percentage or a category, or describe the impairment in medical terms. We translate the percentage, category and wording exactly as printed and do not convert them to any US scale. Diagnoses and medical abbreviations are translated with care, and an ambiguous abbreviation is kept and explained in a translator's note rather than guessed.

Using it in the US

US agencies such as the Social Security Administration, a school district or an employer make their own disability decisions; a Cape Verdean certificate is supporting evidence, not a US determination. A certificate issued in Portugal, where many Cape Verdeans are treated, is a Portuguese document under Portuguese rules; see the Portuguese disability certificate page. It is usually read alongside the underlying medical records, so translating both helps the reader.

For a USCIS medical waiver, such as an exception to the English and civics test, the form is completed by a US doctor, but foreign records can support it. Dates of examination and of validity are translated as printed, because US agencies often check whether a certificate was current when issued. Names on the certificate should match your passport; if they differ we translate as printed and note it. See our Portuguese page.

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.
