The contrato de arrendamento
A Cape Verdean lease (contrato de arrendamento) is a private contract in Portuguese between landlord and tenant. It usually identifies both parties with their identity numbers, describes the property, and sets the rent in escudos, its due date, the deposit, the term and renewal, and who pays for water, electricity and repairs. Signatures may be recognised by a notary, which adds a stamp and certification. We translate the whole contract clause by clause, with every stamp and handwritten addition.
Rent and deposit amounts are copied exactly, with the escudo notation in which the cifrão separates escudos from centavos explained in a translator's note. Dates and durations are translated as written, and clause numbers are kept, so a reader can cite them. If the lease was renewed or amended, each addendum is translated in order with the original contract, so the current terms are clear.
Proof of residence
Leases are often submitted to prove where someone lived, for example in a marriage-based case or to show a family's shared home. In Cabo Verde the official proof of residence is a different document: the residence certificate (atestado de residência), issued by the Câmara Municipal for the area where the applicant lives, to Cape Verdean citizens and foreign nationals. If an office asks for proof of address, that certificate may serve better than a lease; we translate either.
A residence certificate, by contrast, is a short municipal document, translated with its seal and the official's signature. Its date of issue is kept exactly, since offices often want a recent one. Names on the lease should match the parties' identity cards or passports; if they differ, we translate as printed and note it. See the Cape Verdean bank statement page for how amounts are written, and 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.
Frequently asked questions
Is a lease enough to prove my address?
It depends on the office. Cabo Verde also issues a residence certificate from the municipality, which we can translate.
My lease has notary stamps on the signatures.
They are translated with the rest of the contract.
The rent is written with a dollar sign.
That is the cifrão, the escudo separator. We keep the amount as printed and explain it.
