Written with people moving from Turkey in mind. The Portuguese rules still apply more broadly.
Certified Translations
Documents like birth certificates or criminal records must be translated into Portuguese. A simple translation is not enough; it must be certified. This can be done by a notary, a lawyer, or the Portuguese Consulate in your home country.
In Portugal, "Yeminli Tercüman" (Sworn Translator) works differently than in Turkey. Here, the translator signs the document, and a lawyer or notary certifies their signature. Ensure your translator follows this specific protocol.
