tradução certificada

A translation certified in a way accepted in Portugal: by a notary, a lawyer, a solicitador, a chamber of commerce or a consulate. An ordinary translation by a translator without certification is usually not accepted. It saves money to check first with the institution receiving the documents which kind of certification it accepts.

Where you come across it. Any submission of foreign documents: AIMA, school, the conservatória.
Portugal has no sworn translators of the kind found in Germany or Spain — the certification system is different, and translations certified abroad are sometimes not accepted.
