Legal Foundations for Translation & Interpretation in Brazil
Brazilian Legislation
Brazilian legislation recognises that translation and interpretation may be carried out by suitably qualified professionals who are not sworn translators in a range of situations, particularly where this is necessary to ensure access to communication, public services and justice, in accordance with constitutional principles andthe law. Within this framework, a bilingual lawyer may legitimately provide support through simultaneous interpretation and translation in legal consultations, meetings, administrative hearings and other interactions that do not require public faith, thereby ensuring clarity, accuracy and legal certainty for the parties involved. It should be noted, however, that sworn translation remains mandatory in cases expressly required by law, such as the submission of foreign documents to public authorities, judicial proceedings and notarial acts..
