Real Portuguese-language casework
What can complicate a Portuguese medical record translation?
The first case is a vaccination record. The second is a civil record that shows the same digital-authentication check medical printouts and PDFs go through.
Brazil · system printout
The Hygia report arrived exactly as the system printed it
We mirrored the 17-row dose table, converted the SUS shorthand to the doctor’s worksheet vocabulary, and described the stampless format in a translator’s note.
Read the case
Brazil · digital seal
The seal was a verification code, not ink
We translated the digital-seal block and kept its verification data intact, so the registry record stayed checkable from the English version.
Read the caseCountry-specific evidence
Do I need the caderneta, the app certificate, or a printout?
Which record proves your doses depends on when they were given and which system recorded them. We name what you hold before you pay.
Brazil
Paper caderneta, federal app, municipal systems
Brazil still distributes the paper caderneta, while Meu SUS Digital — the renamed ConecteSUS — carries the recent digital history and can issue certificates from it.
Doses from before the digital era surface as municipal printouts: Londrina’s Hygia labels them Relatório de Vacinas Antigas. They arrive with no stamp, which is normal for the format and worth explaining to the reviewer.
Old paper doses beat app screenshots at the exam. The civil surgeon credits written, dated entries — we translate the printout and document its format in a translator’s note.
Portugal
Boletim de vacinas and the SNS 24 eBoletim
Portugal runs vaccination records through the SNS: the classic paper boletim, and the eBoletim that downloads from the SNS 24 portal or app as a PDF.
The PDF authenticates through its data rather than a wet seal. We preserve those verification elements and translate the record exactly as the SNS issued it.
Angola & Mozambique
Booklet-pattern cards, usually handwritten
Lusophone African vaccination cards follow the familiar booklet pattern, with handwritten entries and clinic stamps doing the work that systems do elsewhere.
We translate them dose by dose with the same discipline, and mark anything genuinely unreadable as illegible rather than guessing at it.
How it works
How do I get Portuguese medical records translated into English?
Upload the record first. We identify the document and its system, confirm the page count and the price, then translate, cross-check, and certify.
- 01
Upload every page and printout
Send caderneta spreads, both sides of loose cards, system printouts, PDFs, and any letter that names what the office wants from you.
Document identified · total confirmed - 02
We translate the record system-aware
A Portuguese specialist translates dose tables and clinical text. A second reviewer checks names, every date, each converted vaccine name, and every value against the source.

Questions before ordering
What does USCIS require for translated Portuguese medical records?
The rule is constant: Portuguese-language evidence in a U.S. filing needs a complete certified English translation. Which record you hold underneath depends on the system that issued it.
How much does a Portuguese medical records translation cost?+−
The price is $24.95 per physical page, with no word cap. A caderneta spread or printout runs one to three pages; hospital files go longer. We confirm the count before you pay.
How long does a Portuguese medical records translation take?+−
Most one- to three-page orders arrive within 24 hours. Longer hospital files, and records mixing print with handwriting, get a confirmed delivery window before we start.
Will my Portuguese medical records translation be accepted by USCIS?+−
Your package carries the source copy, a complete English translation, and a signed and stamped Certificate of Translation Accuracy. If USCIS raises a translation issue, we revise it free. That does not replace holding the right record in the first place.
Will the doctor accept a Hygia or e-SUS printout with no stamp?+−
Usually yes, when it is translated and explained. Municipal printouts carry no ink by design, so we document the system format in a translator’s note — the approach from our published May 2026 case.
Meu SUS Digital already shows my vaccines in English. Do I still need a translation?+−
Often yes. A reviewer holding your original Portuguese record needs a certified translation of that record, and the app rarely carries doses from before the digital era. We translate what the receiving office will actually read.
What about doses from before Brazil went digital?+−
They live on the paper caderneta or in municipal systems — clinics print them as reports like the Relatório de Vacinas Antigas. Send whatever the clinic gave you and we will translate it as the record it is.
Does USCIS require notarization or an apostille for medical records?+−
USCIS generally asks for a certified English translation, not a notarized one and not an apostille. A school, insurer, or foreign authority may set its own rules, so follow that recipient’s checklist.
My caderneta is handwritten and faded. Can you translate it?+−
Usually yes. We translate every legible entry and mark the rest as illegible rather than guessing — a certified translation never invents a dose. If a critical line is too faint, we ask for a better photo first.
Do you translate medical records from every Portuguese-speaking country?+−
Yes. Brazil and Portugal are the daily work, and Lusophone African records follow the same booklet pattern. Each is matched to the format its system actually uses.
What happens to the SUS abbreviations on my record?+−
Each one is converted to the clinically recognized English vaccine name — TRIPLICE and TRIP VIRAL land on the names the doctor’s worksheet uses. A system-truncated name is resolved from the schedule and flagged, never guessed.
What we check before certification
What can make a translated Portuguese medical record unclear?
These issues repeat across SUS and SNS paperwork. The translation should carry the doses, the system, and the chronology exactly, with nothing left for the reviewer to reconstruct.
01
System shorthand translated literally
Our check: TRIP VIRAL means measles-mumps-rubella. We land every SUS abbreviation on the recognized English vaccine name, so the worksheet cross-walk takes seconds.
02
A stampless printout filed without context
Our check: Hygia and e-SUS reports carry no ink by design. A translator’s note describes the format so the reviewer is not left staring at a missing seal.
03
A truncated vaccine name guessed from its letters
Our check: When the system clips a name, we resolve it against the immunization schedule and flag the resolution, instead of inventing a vaccine.
04
Long compound names drifting across the packet
Our check: Before certification we cross-check every Brazilian and Portuguese full name against the passport spelling used in the rest of your filing.
The standard behind these checks
AcceptReady™ is CertTranslate's published standard for certified translations: complete word-for-word translation, mirrored page layout, signed and stamped Certificate of Accuracy on letterhead, and matched to the receiver's published requirements.
How to check each one yourselfChecked before we certify. If a reviewer later asks for a translation-related correction, the revision is free.
Start my translationCommon filing contexts
When do I need a certified Portuguese medical records translation?
The immigration medical exam leads: the civil surgeon credits doses from written records, and the English translation is the applicant’s to bring — in the vocabulary the worksheet uses.
File the Portuguese record together with its certified English translation. The translation must not replace the source, shorten it, or quietly tidy it.
I-693
Immigration medical exam
Cadernetas and printouts prove the childhood series. Translated, dated entries keep doses from being repeated at the exam.
I-485
Adjustment and humanitarian evidence
Medical evidence filed with USCIS needs a complete certified English translation of every Portuguese-language page.
Schools
Enrollment and campus health
School health offices read the translated dose table against their own checklist before clearing enrollment.
Claims / care
Insurers and new physicians
A sumário de alta or relatório médico becomes evidence — every value and date must survive translation exactly.
