The Atestado Médico de Incapacidade Multiuso
In Portugal a disability is certified by the multi-purpose medical certificate of incapacity (Atestado Médico de Incapacidade Multiuso). The person applies to the president of the medical board (junta médica) at their local health centre or health unit, with the medical reports that support the claim, and is usually assessed in person by the board. One certificate serves many purposes, which is why it is called multi-purpose.
The certificate states a degree of incapacity as a percentage, set using the national incapacity table (Tabela Nacional de Incapacidades), and says whether the incapacity is temporary or permanent. Newly diagnosed cancer patients can apply at the hospital and receive a minimum of 60% for five years. The percentage, dates and any review date are translated exactly as printed.
A Portuguese percentage is not a US decision
The percentage is a Portuguese assessment for Portuguese purposes. A US agency such as the Social Security Administration decides disability under its own rules, and a US school or employer may use the certificate only as supporting evidence. We translate the certificate as printed and do not restate the percentage in US terms.
A certificate can be replaced after a new assessment, so translate the most recent one unless the office wants the history. The medical reports behind the certificate are often requested too; see the Portuguese medical records page. For Brazil see the Brazilian disability certificate page, and 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.
Frequently asked questions
What does "multiuso" mean on my certificate?
It is one certificate valid for several purposes. We translate the name and explain it.
My certificate says 60%.
That is the degree of incapacity set by the medical board. We translate it exactly.
Will the SSA accept my Portuguese percentage?
The SSA applies its own rules. The translation lets it read the certificate as evidence.
