Certified Translation for USA Visa Applications in Canada
If you’re living in Canada and need a Brazilian sworn translation (tradução juramentada), you may already know how difficult it is to find a certified sworn translator outside of Brazil. At ANZ Translation Canada, we specialize in helping clients navigate the complex requirements of Brazilian sworn translations—even while living abroad.
What Is a Brazilian Sworn Translation?
In Brazil, sworn translation (tradução pública juramentada) refers to the official translation of legal and public documents performed by a Tradutor Público e Intérprete Comercial (Public Translator and Commercial Interpreter), also known as a Sworn Translator. These professionals are appointed by the Commercial Boards (Juntas Comerciais) of each Brazilian state after passing a highly competitive public examination.
Sworn translations are legally required for any foreign document submitted to Brazilian public institutions, including:
Birth and marriage certificates
Diplomas and academic transcripts
Legal contracts
Immigration and citizenship documents
Business records and corporate documents
Only translations completed by an officially registered sworn translator in Brazil are recognized as valid for legal and administrative purposes in Brazil.
Why It’s So Difficult to Find a Sworn Translator in Canada
Sworn translators in Brazil must reside in Brazil and be registered with the local state’s Commercial Board. This means that there are no sworn translators based in Canada, making it extremely difficult for Brazilians or anyone dealing with Brazilian authorities to obtain sworn translations while living abroad.
Many clients are surprised to learn that even a certified Canadian translation—while valid for use in Canada—is not accepted by Brazilian government offices, schools, or courts. Brazil requires the translation to be sworn by an officially appointed Brazilian translator.
