Certidao de tempo de contribuicao translation
Certidao de tempo de contribuicao translation begins with what the document is: the INSS certificate of your paid contribution years in Brazil. Under the US-Brazil totalization agreement those years can count toward a US Social Security benefit, and the SSA reads them in English. Certified, $19 a page, within 24 hours.
Why Brazilian work years matter in the US
The Brazil and United States totalization agreement, in force since 2018, lets workers combine INSS contribution time with US Social Security credits to qualify for benefits. The proof is Brazilian: the certidão de tempo de contribuição or the CNIS extract from Meu INSS, and the SSA reads it in English.
CTC or CNIS, both translated properly
The formal CTC lists periods, employers, and totals certified by the INSS; the CNIS extract is the raw contribution history from the app. Offices accept either depending on the claim, and both are dense tables where a dropped line is a dropped year of your life. Every period, employer, and value is translated exactly as printed.
Numbers stay Brazilian
Contribution values stay in the currency and format the INSS printed, salários de contribuição included; the SSA does its own math. What we deliver is the faithful English rendering with the signed certification that makes it usable evidence.
Ivy, a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker, translates and signs every order herself, and each one ships with the Certificate of Accuracy that 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3) requires.
Common questions
Where do I get the certidão in Brazil?
Through Meu INSS (the site or app): the CNIS extract downloads immediately and the formal CTC can be requested there. Get the document first, then send the exact PDF for translation.
How many pages does a contribution history run?
CNIS extracts commonly run 3 to 6 translation pages depending on career length. The calculator shows the exact total from your page count before you pay.
