Portuguese Document Translation - NAATI Certified

Carta de conducao (driving licence) - Portuguese driving licences follow the EU credit-card format with standardised category codes (AM, A1, A2, A, B, BE, etc.). Our translators produce a NAATI-certified English translation that clearly maps each EU category, making licence conversion straightforward with any Australian state transport authority.

Certidao de nascimento - Portuguese birth certificates are issued by the Conservatoria do Registo Civil and follow a standard format. We translate the complete certificate including the registo number, parish details and any averbamentos (annotations) such as marriage or name changes.

Registo criminal - Your Portuguese criminal record certificate is issued by the Direccao-Geral da Administracao da Justica (DGAJ). We translate the full document including the issuing authority details and any apostille, as required for Australian visa applications.

Diploma and certificado de habilitacoes - Portuguese university diplomas include the degree title, classification (with the Portuguese 0-20 grading scale) and institution details. We translate both the diploma and the suplemento ao diploma (diploma supplement) for skills assessments and university enrolments in Australia.

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

Bilhete de identidade / Cartao de Cidadao - Portuguese identity documents reference the NIF (Numero de Identificacao Fiscal) and other identification numbers. We preserve all numbers exactly as they appear on your original document.

Apostilled documents - Portugal issues apostilles through the Procuradoria-Geral da Republica. We translate both the original document and the attached apostille as a single certified translation.

Medical records and vaccination certificates - Portuguese medical documents and boletim de vacinas are translated for healthcare registration and skilled worker visa applications in Australia.

Procuracao (power of attorney) - Portuguese notarised powers of attorney are translated for legal proceedings, property transactions and immigration matters in Australia.

Request your apostille from the Procuradoria-Geral da Republica - Portuguese apostilles are issued by the PGR. You can apply online through the portal at www.pgr.pt. Having your documents apostilled before departure is recommended for visa applications.

Include all averbamentos - Portuguese certidoes often have averbamentos (annotations) added in the margins over time, recording events such as marriages, divorces or name changes. Upload every page including all annotations so we translate the complete document.

Check your NIF number is visible - The NIF (Numero de Identificacao Fiscal) appears on many Portuguese documents and may be referenced by Australian authorities for identity verification. Ensure it is clearly legible in your scan.

Order your registo criminal online - You can request your Portuguese criminal record certificate online through the DGAJ portal even while overseas. The digital version is valid for visa applications and we can translate it directly from the PDF.
