Sworn Portuguese translation with apostille

If you want to use a Portuguese translation abroad, the receiving authority often asks for an apostille. An apostille confirms the authenticity of the signature of the sworn translator or the issuing authority, so the document legalisation is valid in another country without further steps. This is arranged via the Apostille Convention, also known as the Hague Convention of 1961. The Netherlands, Portugal and Brazil are all three parties to this convention, so an apostille between these countries is sufficient. We can apostille at the court for you, so your translation is immediately usable with the Portuguese or Brazilian authorities.
