Q: What is the difference between a translation under oath (tradução juramentada) and a certified translation?
A: A translation under oath is done following an appropriate form to have official validity in public institutions. This type of translation is printed on a crested paper which includes the personal information of the public translator (one who has to pass a public exam) who signs the translation.

Translations under oath are used in Brazil, but not used as much in the English speaking countries. In the English speaking countries, the most common form of translation is the certified one.

Certified translation is made by a person who is fluent in the language of the original document and in the language in which the translation needs to be made. The translator must declare, using specific words, that he/she is fluent in those languages. For instance, this kind of translation is necessary for documents used in the American immigration process, school reports.

Q: I see that you are located in the USA and in Brazil, I live in London, is there a way to send you the documents to be translated?
A: Sure. It does not matter where you are in the world. You only need to scan the material to be translated and send it by email. It is not necessary to send any original documents. You can also make a copy of the documents and send them by mail.

Q: I live neither in the US nor in Brazil, so how can I send you the payment for the translation?
A: You can pay by Paypal, money order or make a deposit in our bank account in Brazil.

Q: What kinds of payment do you accept?
A: We accept checks, PayPal. If you are in Brazil, we also accept bank deposits since we have a bank account in Brazil.

Q: Once my translation is completed, how will you return it to me?
A: Anyway you want it. MS Word documents can be returned as an email attachment. Or, if it is a certified translation, you may use US Postal Service, or any other mail service you choose.
