Portuguese translation from Georgia is usually tied to study, residence, citizenship, marriage registration, employment, business, banking, property or medical treatment in Portugal. The same language is used in Brazil, Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, São Tomé and Príncipe and East Timor, but document names, official terms and language norms differ considerably between them.
A word-for-word text is not enough. The document type, the receiving body, the country, the Latin spelling of names, the seals, the apostille and the formal structure all have to be handled together.

European and Brazilian Portuguese: why the difference matters
Portuguese is a world language, but its variants are not interchangeable in official translation. European and Brazilian Portuguese differ in vocabulary, verb forms, administrative terms, address formats, names of identity documents and sometimes legal concepts. Portugal has the Cartão de Cidadão, certidão do registo civil, conservatória, número de identificação fiscal and autorização de residência; Brazil has the RG or the new national identity card, the CPF, the cartório, the certidão de inteiro teor and the tradução juramentada.
A Georgian document for Portugal is best aligned with Portuguese administrative language. A document for a Brazilian university, court or business partner reads more naturally in Brazilian terminology. For Angola, Mozambique, Cape Verde and other Lusophone countries we keep the institutional names of the issuing country and render local forms precisely.
Documents from Portugal into Georgian
Portuguese documents are used in Georgia for marriage registration, proof of civil status, court cases, inheritance, banking, employment and business. They may contain civil registry data, an access code for an electronic certificate, official stamps, digital signatures and administrative notes.
Certificates issued through the Instituto dos Registos e do Notariado (IRN) - birth, marriage, death, property, vehicle and commercial registry - each have their own structure. The translation reflects not only the main fact but the entry number, type of register, registration date, parents' details, matrimonial property regime, later annotations and the status of the electronic document. An online verification code is kept unchanged.
Residence and migration cases may involve letters, applications, residence cards, visa decisions and proof of address connected with AIMA. Portuguese tax and customs documents are also common: NIF assignment, tax residence certificates, parts of returns, confirmations of debt or no debt, and property or company extracts, where figures, periods, tax year and type of tax need particular care.
Georgian documents into Portuguese
Georgian citizens and foreigners holding Georgian documents need Portuguese translations for family reunification, visas, residence, university admission, diploma recognition, employment, company registration, marriage, registering a child's birth or opening a bank account. We first establish the receiving body, because the same Georgian document title can be rendered differently in different Portuguese contexts.
For a Georgian birth certificate, marriage certificate, criminal record certificate, registry extract, diploma or medical certificate, every element is processed: title, authority, personal number, registration number, date, QR code, signature, seal, notes and apostille. The receiving body often checks exactly those verification marks.
Sending a document to Portugal? Check in advance whether the original needs an apostille and whether the receiving body requires a specific certification of the translation. Knowing this avoids preparing the document twice.
Brazilian documents
Brazilian documents are often longer and include full cartório details, book and page numbers, registration entries, electronic certification, QR codes, state abbreviations and the responsible officer. A certidão de nascimento or de casamento may be a short form or a full-content version; a certidão de inteiro teor can run to several pages with historical entries. The Georgian translation lays all of this out logically.
Brazilian identity documents include the old RG, the new Carteira de Identidade Nacional, the CPF, the CNH (driving licence), voter documents, work records and electronic criminal record certificates, each with its own issuing body and verification method. Abbreviations are explained so that a Georgian office understands exactly what each document confirms.
For Georgian documents used in Brazil, a local tradução juramentada - a translation by a sworn public translator authorised in Brazil - is sometimes required. A Portuguese translation made in Georgia can serve for preliminary review, communication or bodies that accept foreign translations, but check the final requirement with the Brazilian authority, especially for courts, universities, civil registries and company procedures.
Apostille, legalization and notarized translation
An apostille is not a translation and does not confirm the content of a document. It certifies internationally the signature, the signatory's authority and the seal on a public document. Portuguese public documents are apostilled by the competent Portuguese authorities; Brazilian documents at an authorised cartório in Brazil. As a rule, the apostille is placed in the country that issued the document.
The usual order is: prepare the original or a proper copy, add the apostille where needed, then translate the whole package - the apostille's text, number, date, signature and seal are part of the translation. If the apostille is added later, an extra page may need translating and the package reassembling. The receiving institution has the final word on the apostille, the certification form and the order of documents. See apostille and legalization.
In Georgia, a notarial procedure normally certifies the translator's signature, not the authenticity of the foreign document itself. Depending on the case the translation is attached to the original, a copy or the apostilled package; sometimes an electronic translation is enough, sometimes a bound, notarized paper copy is required.
Legal, business, medical and academic Portuguese
Legal. Claims, defences, judgments, rulings, arbitration material, company statutes, partners' resolutions, powers of attorney, leases and sale contracts. Rights, obligations, liability, termination, damages and dispute resolution are never swapped for near-synonyms, and for large cases a glossary is agreed first. See legal translation. Business and finance. Contracts, offers, invoices, bank statements, audit material, company profiles and catalogues for Lusophone markets. Legal form, registration number, representation rights, share capital and signatory status are kept exact. Medical. Form 100, doctor's reports, discharge summaries, diagnostic and lab results, prescriptions, vaccination records, surgery descriptions and cost documents. Diagnosis codes, international drug names, doses and frequency are preserved. See medical translation. Academic. Diplomas, school certificates, transcripts, credits, curricula and student status letters. Georgian grades are not converted into Portuguese or Brazilian scores without an official rule; the original grades are kept and the Georgian system explained. See diploma translation.Names, surnames and place names
Portuguese and Brazilian documents may give a person several surnames with particles such as de, da, do, dos or das, and different systems may order them differently. We never change the official name; we follow the passport or main identity document. For Georgian names, the established Latin form is kept, and any conflict between the passport and an older translation is raised before work starts. Towns and villages get either their official international form or a transliteration, used consistently across the package.
How a Portuguese translation order runs
Send the document
Every page as a PDF or clear photos, including the apostille and seals.
Clarify the requirement
Direction, country, receiving body, deadline and whether notarization is needed.
Translation and checking
The text is prepared in the right Portuguese variant; names, figures, terms and format are checked.
Receive the document
An electronic file or an agreed paper version, notarized where required.
Price and turnaround for Portuguese translation
Price is not set by page count alone: one page may hold a few lines, another dense text, tables, handwriting and many seals. Volume, subject, terminology, file quality, urgency, formatting, the number of apostilles and notarization all count. The price is by agreement and confirmed after we see the full file. See translation prices.
A standard civil certificate is usually faster than a multi-page contract, medical history or financial report. You can order at our Tbilisi office or online from Batumi, Kutaisi, Rustavi, Gori, any other region or from abroad.

Should I choose European or Brazilian Portuguese?
It depends on the receiving country and institution. Portuguese bodies normally expect European Portuguese; Brazilian organisations, Brazilian terminology and document practice. The difference shows most in identity documents, civil registry certificates and legal and tax terms.
Can a Portuguese translation be notarized?
Yes. The translation can be prepared for notarization; the form depends on the document, the state of the original and the recipient's requirement. An apostilled document is translated as one package.
Should the apostille come before or after translation?
If the apostille certifies the original, it usually comes first and is translated together with the document. If the recipient wants the notarized translation certified as well, the procedure may differ; confirm with the recipient.
Do you translate IRN, AIMA and tax documents?
Yes - civil registry certificates, property and company extracts, residence letters and forms, NIF and tax residence documents. Send every page, code, seal and attachment for assessment.
Can you translate a Brazilian birth or marriage certificate?
Yes, including certidões de nascimento, de casamento and de inteiro teor, criminal record certificates and CPF-related documents. The cartório details, registration number, QR code, state and apostille must all be visible.
How are names written in a Portuguese translation?
They follow the Latin spelling in the passport or main identity document. If documents differ, we clarify first - consistency matters most for visas, residence, marriage, universities and banks.
Is an online copy enough?
A clear PDF or high-quality photo is usually enough to assess and start. Pages must be complete, uncropped and glare-free, with every seal, signature and apostille page included. The original may be needed later for notarization.
