Brazilian Document Translation - NAATI Certified

CNH (Carteira Nacional de Habilitacao) - Your Brazilian driving licence uses a category system (A, B, C, D, E) that differs from the EU format. Our translators accurately convert all categories, expiry dates and the CNH number into a NAATI-certified English translation accepted by every Australian state transport authority.

Certidao de nascimento - Brazilian birth certificates are issued by cartorios de registro civil and often include extensive family details, annotations and averbacoes (marginal notes). We translate the full document including all annotations, which Australian authorities require for visa and citizenship applications.

Atestado de antecedentes criminais - Your Brazilian police clearance from the Policia Federal is required for most Australian visa applications. We translate the complete certificate including the issuing authority details and any apostille attached under the Hague Convention.

Diploma and historico escolar - Brazilian universities issue both the diploma (degree certificate) and the historico escolar (academic transcript) as separate documents. Both typically need translation for skills assessments and university enrolments in Australia.

Certidao de casamento - Brazilian marriage certificates from cartorios include detailed civil registry information. We translate every field including the regime de bens (property regime) and any averbacoes.

CPF and identity documents - Brazilian documents frequently reference the CPF (Cadastro de Pessoas Fisicas) number. Our translators preserve this and all other identification numbers exactly as they appear on your original documents.

Apostilled documents - Since Brazil joined the Hague Convention in 2016, Brazilian documents can carry an apostille issued by cartorios. We translate both the original document and the attached apostille as a single certified translation.

Medical and vaccination records - Brazilian caderneta de vacinacao and medical reports are translated for healthcare registration, skilled worker visa applications and university enrolment in Australia.

Power of attorney (procuracao) - Brazilian procuracoes from cartorios are translated for legal proceedings, property transactions and immigration matters in Australia.

Request your apostille before leaving Brazil - Since 2016, any cartorio in Brazil can issue an apostille under the Hague Convention. Having your documents apostilled before departure saves time, as some Australian authorities may request both translation and apostille for certain applications.

Include all pages and annotations - Brazilian certidoes often have averbacoes (marginal notes) added over time, such as divorce annotations on a marriage certificate or name changes on a birth certificate. Upload every page, including annotations, so we can translate the complete document.

Check your CPF number is legible - The CPF number appears on most Brazilian documents and is used by Australian authorities to verify your identity. Make sure it is clearly visible in your scan or photo.

Order your Policia Federal clearance online - You can request your atestado de antecedentes criminais from the Policia Federal website even while overseas. The digital version is valid and we can translate it directly from the PDF.
