Certidao de nascimento inteiro teor translation

Inteiro teor vs breve relato

Brazilian cartórios issue two flavors of the same record. The breve relato is the short summary; the inteiro teor is the full transcription of the book entry, with every annotation ever made. Consulates and careful attorneys ask for the inteiro teor precisely because it shows the whole history, including corrections and name changes recorded as averbações.

Which version your case needs

Consular processing, green card filings, and anything an attorney will file: start from the inteiro teor, because when an officer wants the full record only that version satisfies, and re-requesting mid-case costs weeks. Simple domestic uses sometimes pass with the breve relato, but the price difference at the cartório is small and the risk difference is not.

Ordering the right copy first

Ask the cartório for the certidão em inteiro teor (many issue it digitally with a QR code). Once it is in hand, everything about translating it, the price, the turnaround, and what a finished translation looks like, lives on the Brazilian birth certificate translation page, which covers both versions.

The person doing your translation is Ivy, a native Portuguese speaker from Brazil. She signs the Certificate of Accuracy on every order, which is the certification 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requires.
