Frisco, TX · Certified Portuguese Translation
Quick Answer
Yes. A Brazilian or Portuguese diploma needs a certified English translation before a U.S. employer, university, or credential evaluation service like WES will accept it, and before it can support an employment-based immigration petition. Certified Translation Dallas prepares WES-accepted Portuguese diploma translations for Frisco’s Brazilian and Portuguese-speaking community, typically within 24-48 hours.

Most credential evaluations and employment petitions ask for the diploma and the underlying academic transcript translation together, and both need a certified English translation before an evaluator, employer, or immigration officer will act on either one. Our Portuguese translation team handles the pair as a single order.
Brazilian and European Portuguese differ in vocabulary and some spelling conventions, and our translators account for the diploma’s country of origin so a document issued in São Paulo reads correctly and one issued in Lisbon does too, each built to the same USCIS certified translation standard we apply to every immigration document translation case.

Brazilian and European Portuguese, Both Covered
A diploma issued in Brazil and one issued in Portugal can use different terms for the same degree level, and a translator who treats the two as interchangeable can introduce small errors that a USCIS or WES reviewer notices. Our translators account for the source country’s version of the language, render the issuing university’s seal and signature lines exactly as they appear, and keep the same layout the evaluator will check against the original.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you translate diplomas from both Brazil and Portugal?
Yes. Brazilian and European Portuguese differ in vocabulary and some spelling conventions, and our translators account for the source country’s version so nothing gets misread.
Does my diploma need to be translated along with my transcript, or just one of them?
Most credential evaluators and employers ask for both. We translate the diploma and transcript together as one order so the terminology and formatting stay consistent across both documents.
My diploma has the university seal and the rector’s signature. Does the translation need to describe those?
Yes. A certified translator describes every seal, stamp, and signature line on the original rather than leaving them out, since evaluators check that nothing on the page was skipped.
How fast can I get a certified Portuguese diploma translation?
Most diplomas are ready within 24-48 hours. Same-day rush service is available if your evaluation or filing deadline is close.
