We translate official documents from Arabic into Portuguese and from Portuguese into Arabic, with native translators and a certification valid in Portugal. We also handle the apostille or legalization required so the document is accepted the first time.
Arabic-speaking countries follow different rules: Morocco and Tunisia use the apostille, while the UAE, Egypt or Algeria require consular legalization.
