About Portuguese Certified Translation
Official Portuguese Certified Translation in the UK
Portuguese is one of the most-requested languages in the UK with major communities in Greater London (Stockwell, Lambeth, Brixton), Reading, Slough, Bedford and Manchester. Every Portuguese document submitted to the Home Office, UKVI, HMCTS, UK ENIC, the DVLA, the NHS or a UK university needs a certified English translation – even when it carries the EU multilingual annex (Regulation 2016/1191), because the UK left the EU on 1 January 2021. Official Translations has delivered Portuguese certified translations since 2010: native Portuguese translators, signed Certificate of Accuracy in the exact format UK authorities accept, £29.95 per page, Instant Pricing, 24-hour standard turnaround for 1–3 pages. We cover birth certificate (certidão de nascimento), marriage certificate (certidão de casamento), divorce decree (sentença de divórcio), death certificate (certidão de óbito), degree / diploma (diploma de licenciatura), academic transcript (histórico escolar), and more – with apostilled translations available for use abroad.
Official Translations covers both European Portuguese (Portugal) and Brazilian Portuguese. Native translators work in the appropriate variety for each document and destination: Brazilian birth certificates (certidão de nascimento), Brazilian CPF and RG identity documents, the Brazilian carteira nacional de habilitação (CNH) and Brazilian Polícia Federal antecedentes criminais; alongside European Portuguese certidões, the Cartão de Cidadão and Portuguese registo criminal. Each translation is calibrated to the country of issue and the UK authority receiving it.

Does my Portuguese driving licence need translation for the UK DVLA?+
For DVLA D1 exchange the answer depends on country of issue and reciprocity arrangements. For UK insurers, police, taxi licensing or DBS submissions, a certified Portuguese translation of the Portuguese driving licence (carta de condução) is required – and Portuguese police-check certificates (registo criminal) always need a certified translation.
Can Official Translations handle Portuguese documents for UK ENIC and UCAS?+
Yes. Portuguese Diploma de Ensino Secundário, Brazilian ENEM and diploma de graduação degrees translations by Official Translations are accepted by UK ENIC and every UK university for Statement of Comparability and UCAS applications.
Do you translate both Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese?+
Yes. Official Translations provides certified translations from both Brazilian Portuguese and European Portuguese (Portugal). The two varieties differ in vocabulary, grammar and the names of common official documents – for example, a Brazilian driving licence is a carteira nacional de habilitação (CNH) while a Portuguese one is a carta de condução; Brazilians carry a CPF and RG, the Portuguese a Cartão de Cidadão. Our translators work in the variety matching the document's country of issue and produce UK-English output accepted by the Home Office, UKVI, HMCTS, UK ENIC, the DVLA, the NHS and UK universities.
