What is translation & notary
Many Portuguese administrative processes require certified translations of foreign documents — birth certificates, marriage certificates, criminal records, driving licences, and qualifications. We work with certified translators and notaries to ensure your documents are accepted first time.
Why use Algarve Made Easy
A non-certified translation is often rejected by Portuguese authorities. We know which documents need certification, apostille, or sworn translation, and which can be submitted as standard copies — saving you unnecessary cost and time.
