Brazilian civil certificates (certidão)
Certidão de Nascimento Translation into English
In Brazil the registro civil de nascimento is the registration (assento) kept by a cartório de registro civil das pessoas naturais; the certidão de nascimento is the certificate the person receives from that register. Certificates are issued in a summary form and, where the full entry is needed, as a certidão de inteiro teor reproducing the entry including averbações (annotations). We translate both, plus certidões de casamento and óbito, from $59 per page with 24-hour turnaround.
When a Brazilian certidão translation may be needed in Australia
If you have been asked to evidence a birth, marriage, divorce or death registered in Brazil, the cartório certificate is the document that carries it — and a certified English translation is normally expected. Federal government guidance on registro civil de nascimento and the official Registro Civil portal describe the registration and the certificates issued from it: gov.br and registrocivil.org.br.
- If you have been asked to prove birth or parentage for a partner, child or family application
- For marriage and divorce evidence where an averbação records the change
- For CPF, consular and Brazilian nationality matters handled from Australia
- For probate, pension and insurance claims involving a Brazilian estate
- Where a university or registration body asks for a certified identity document
- Note that the hospital Declaração de Nascido Vivo (DNV) is the live-birth statement used to register the birth — it is not the certidão de nascimento

NAATI Certification
How we translate a Brazilian certidão
Modern certificates use the national CNJ format with a 32-digit matrícula, a QR code and a validation seal (selo digital). Our NAATI-certified Portuguese translators reproduce the matrícula exactly, translate the cartório name, livro, folha and termo references, carry across every averbação, and describe the seals, stamps and any apostille. Older handwritten certificates and Brazilian Portuguese naming conventions are handled in the same pass. TransLingo translates the record you supply: we do not issue, obtain, verify, notarise or apostille Brazilian civil records, and the organisation receiving your documents decides what it requires.
- Certidão de nascimento — summary form and inteiro teor
- Certidão de casamento — including averbação of divorce
- Certidão de óbito — death certificate
- CNJ matrícula, selo digital and QR validation details preserved
- Apostille from a Brazilian cartório translated alongside the certificate
