What you get
You receive a complete English translation and a signed and stamped Certificate of Translation Accuracy. Send both with the source record; the English translation does not replace it.
Files reviewed before payment
Three steps
Upload your transcript, review the price, and approve the translation. We check the full file before we sign and stamp the certificate.
Send all pages, including backs with text or stamps. Add the grading legend and any instructions from the school or agency.
A Portuguese specialist translates the courses, grades, credits, legends, registrar notes, seals, and certificates in the same order.
You review the translation before we certify it. We fix translation errors at no added cost, then send the final PDF with its signed and stamped certificate.
One physical page means one billed page
There is no word cap or Portuguese-language surcharge. We confirm the delivery time for longer files before you pay.

First-hand document experience
Portuguese transcripts can combine dense course grids, carga horária totals split between lecture and lab hours, and per-year grade declarations issued as separate documents. A translator has to keep each course connected to the correct grade, credit, and term while rebuilding the English layout. These real cases show the decisions involved.
Brazil · 1998 dot-matrix record
We rebuilt the ASCII table borders as a clean English table and kept the handwritten diploma dates marked as handwritten. A mid-program option change stayed visible in the course list.

Brazil · Série/Ano dual numbering
We kept both Série and Ano labels on every row instead of choosing one, reproduced the dense grade grid cell by cell, and documented a calendar-year gap in a translator’s note.

Angola · Per-year declarations
We translated each Declaração de Estudo as its own document instead of merging them into one summary table. The 0–20 scale and the boundaries the school chose stayed intact.

Translation and evaluation are different services
Choose certified translation when you need an accurate English version. Choose credential evaluation when a school or agency asks how your studies compare with a U.S. degree. Many people need both.
What CertTranslate provides
A certified translation is a complete English translation accompanied by the translator's signed statement that the translation is complete and accurate and that the translator is competent to translate.
We translate your record. We do not change the credential or calculate a new GPA.
What a credential evaluator provides
A credential evaluation shows how your studies compare with the U.S. system. WES, ECE, and similar agencies issue this report.
CertTranslate does not issue evaluation reports. Check the file list from the school or agency handling your case.
See what WES asks you to submitBefore you order
Upload every transcript page, including backs, continuation pages, and grading legends. This helps us quote the right price and produce a complete translation.
01 · Transcript
Include all semesters or years and any page with the coordinator’s signature, the institution’s stamp, or MEC registration details.
02 · Grading details
Add the grading legend and any page explaining carga horária, créditos, or ECTS. The legend tells the evaluator what your scale means.
03 · Related documents
Add the diploma if you need both files in English, the Suplemento ao Diploma when your school issued one, and any checklist from your evaluator or board.
Country-specific records
Portuguese-language transcripts differ by country: Brazil and Portugal use different record names, grading scales, and credit systems. We follow the terms and scale printed on your record.
Histórico Escolar
Also issued with: Also: histórico escolar final
A histórico escolar lists courses by semester or year with the disciplina, carga horária hours often split between teórica and prática, the grade on a 0–10 scale, and the status aprovado, reprovado, or trancado.
We keep the scale notation, like 8.5 / 10.0, the credit hours, and the MEC registration details. The evaluator applies its own conversion.
Registo Académico
Also issued with: Also: certificado de unidades curriculares
Records from Portugal follow the Bologna system: unidades curriculares, ECTS credits, grades on a 0–20 scale, and the 1º, 2º, or 3º ciclo. Verbal bands run from Suficiente to Excelente.
When the record cross-references a Suplemento ao Diploma, we keep that reference. Pre-2006 records with pre-Bologna credits are labeled so the era stays clear.
Declaração de Estudo
Also issued with: PALOP systems · scales vary by country
Schools in Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde, and Timor-Leste keep Portuguese as the language of record but follow country-specific scales and conventions. Some issue per-year Declarações de Estudo instead of one consolidated transcript.
We preserve the issuing country’s scale, keep each declaration as its own document, and add context where the system is less familiar to evaluators.

A 250-word cap can turn one dense transcript page into two or three billed pages. CertTranslate charges for the physical pages you upload, not the number of words on them.

Before you submit
Questions usually start where the English layout loses something the school printed: a scale, a credit type, a course link, or a whole page. We rebuild the structure and check these details before certification.
How we handle it: We keep each grade on the scale the school used and add the scale context, like 8.5 / 10.0 or 16 / 20. WES and ECE apply their own conversion tables.
How we handle it: We label Brazilian credit hours and Portuguese ECTS credits distinctly, so the evaluator knows which system it is assessing.
How we handle it: We render Brazilian and Portuguese course titles with their standard English academic equivalents, so evaluators recognize the subject.
How we handle it: We review the full file first and flag any visible reference to a missing year, semester, or back side before you pay.
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 yourselfStart with the full record: send all pages and the instructions from the school or agency. If a name, grade, or date is unreadable, we ask instead of guessing.
Check my transcript setCommon questions
These answers cover price, delivery, evaluation requirements, grading scales, and the files you should send.
Certified Portuguese transcript translation starts at $24.95 per physical page. A page is one physical page of the source document. CertTranslate never re-counts a dense page as two.
Most 1–3 page orders are delivered within 24 hours — included in the price. We confirm the timing for longer or hard-to-read transcripts before you pay.
WES asks for translations when school records are not issued in an accepted language. Send the translation with the source record, and follow the WES file list for your country and credential.
Accepted — or your money back. If a school or agency rejects the translation for a translation-related reason, send us its notice and we will revise the file free. If it is still rejected for that reason, we refund the translation cost. The school or agency still decides whether your record meets its rules.
No. Brazilian grades stay on the 0–10 scale and grades from Portugal stay on the 0–20 scale, with the scale context shown, like 8.5 / 10.0. WES and ECE require the original grades and apply their own conversion tables.
Yes. Upload all terms, continuation sheets, grading legends, signed pages, and back sides that contain text or stamps. We translate the full record you provide.
A histórico escolar is the Brazilian transcript, with carga horária hours and a 0–10 scale. A registo académico comes from Portugal, with ECTS credits and a 0–20 scale. We keep each record’s own terms and structure.
We use standard English academic equivalents. Cálculo Diferencial e Integral becomes Differential and Integral Calculus, not a word-for-word rendering, so evaluators can identify the coursework. The Portuguese title stays matched to its grade and credits.
Notarization is separate from certified translation. It only checks the identity of the person signing, so add it only when your school or agency asks for it.
If the school or agency needs both, ordering them together keeps the student name, school, faculty, program, and degree terms consistent across both translations.
Upload the clearest scan you have. If we cannot read a detail safely, we ask for a better image or mark it as illegible. We do not guess.
Yes. You can review the translation before we sign and stamp the certificate. We fix translation errors at no added cost, both before and after delivery.
Grading reference
We show grades exactly as they appear on the transcript. This table lists common scales, but the grading legend from your school is the final reference.
| Issuing system | Typical scale | Common pass mark | What stays visible |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brazil | 0–10 | 5.0–7.0, varies by institution | Carga horária hours with teórica/prática split, aprovado/reprovado/trancado status |
| Portugal (Bologna) | 0–20 | 10 | ECTS credits, 1º–3º ciclo, verbal bands from Suficiente to Excelente |
| Portugal (pre-Bologna, before ~2006) | 0–20 | 10 | Pre-ECTS credit structure, labeled so the era stays clear to evaluators |
| Angola & other PALOP systems | 0–20 (most) or local | 10 (typical) | Per-year Declarações de Estudo kept as separate documents |
Portuguese academic terms
Brazil and Portugal name the same record differently. We choose the English term that fits and keep key differences clear.
