Certified translation for DMV and RMV offices
Certified translation for DMV visits is $19 a page, delivered within 24 hours with the signed certification state offices expect on foreign documents. The usual set for Brazilians: the CNH, the birth certificate, and sometimes the marriage certificate.
Getting your license with Brazilian documents
Converting to a local license or applying fresh, states routinely ask for foreign documents in English: the CNH front and back with categories and observations, and identity or name-change proof like the birth certificate or marriage certificate. Rules vary by state, so check your DMV or RMV page; when they ask for a translation, this is the format.
Florida and Massachusetts, where Brazilians actually are
The Florida DMV world and the Massachusetts RMV both see Brazilian documents daily. What they need is exactly what the certification provides: a complete English rendering an examiner can rely on, signed and dated by the translator.
REAL ID and name chains
REAL ID appointments trip on name mismatches: the birth certificate says one name, the marriage certificate another, the CNH a third. We translate each document faithfully, averbações included, so the chain of names is visible in English across the set.
Your translation is handled and signed personally by Ivy, a native Brazilian Portuguese speaker, and it comes with the signed Certificate of Accuracy USCIS requires under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(3).
Common questions
Is an International Driving Permit the same thing?
No. The PID from the Detran is a companion document for driving as a visitor. Offices that ask for a translation of the CNH itself want this: the certified translation of the actual license.
Can you translate the digital CNH?
Yes, send the PDF from the Carteira Digital de Trânsito app, or clear photos of the physical card, front and back.
