The CAPLE exams
Portugal's exams in Portuguese as a foreign language are run by CAPLE, the assessment centre of the Faculdade de Letras at the Universidade de Lisboa, through exam centres in Portugal and abroad. Each exam is tied to a level of the Common European Framework: ACESSO (A1), CIPLE (A2), DEPLE (B1), DIPLE (B2), DAPLE (C1) and DUPLE (C2). They are meant for foreign citizens and used for study, work and applications for Portuguese nationality.
A US reader rarely knows these acronyms, so the translation keeps each name as printed and gives its level, so an officer or school can see what CIPLE or DIPLE means. Results, dates and the exam centre are translated exactly as printed. If the certificate is accompanied by a results sheet, translate that too.
Other language certificates from Portugal
Portuguese universities, polytechnics and private language schools also issue certificates for courses in English, French, Spanish and other languages, usually stating the hours, the level reached and the final mark out of 20. We translate them in full, every stamp and signature included, and keep the CEFR level as printed rather than restate it.
Certificates issued abroad by CAPLE exam centres carry the same exam names and levels as those issued in Portugal, and we translate them the same way. A language certificate often travels with a Portuguese transcript or a secondary school diploma. Brazil runs its own, separate Portuguese exam; see the Brazilian language certificate page. See also 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.
