The Passaporte Eletrónico Português
Portuguese passports are electronic passports (Passaporte Eletrónico Português, PEP) handled by the Instituto dos Registos e do Notariado. They are applied for at IRN service desks, through the regional governments of the Azores and Madeira, or at Portuguese consulates, and a valid Citizen Card is required. The electronic passport is valid for five years. A temporary passport, which is not electronic and is valid for one year, also exists.
The data page follows the international standard, so it rarely causes trouble on its own. What usually needs translating is everything else: entry and exit stamps, visas, observations and endorsements written in Portuguese. USCIS asks for a complete translation of every foreign-language page you submit, so we translate every page in your copy that carries foreign text. See the general passport translation page.
The passport spelling as the reference
The name in the passport is the spelling every other translation should follow. Portuguese names carry accents and the cedilla (João, Gonçalves, Conceição), which the machine-readable lines at the bottom of the page drop because they allow only plain letters. We keep the accents as printed in the visual zone and copy the machine-readable lines exactly, so both forms are visible.
When your certificates and diplomas are translated, we use the passport spelling throughout if you ask, and keep the original form visible so nothing looks altered. A passport cannot be duplicated: a lost or damaged one is replaced by a new passport with a new number, so older visas may sit in a passport you no longer use. The passport is issued against the Citizen Card, which is the identity document Portuguese citizens use at home. For Brazil see the Brazilian passport 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
My passport data page is already partly in English.
That page often needs little. Stamps, visas and notes in Portuguese on other pages do need translating.
The bottom lines of my passport spell my name without accents.
The machine-readable zone allows only plain letters. We copy it exactly and keep the accents elsewhere.
I travelled on a temporary passport.
It is a separate, non-electronic passport valid for one year. We translate it page by page.
