Can you get someone in Brazil to do it and then mail it to you? We got our stuff translated in Colombia and it only cost us $7USD.

You can also try to translate it yourself but it's a bit tricky.

That seems very high to me, but I haven't had anything translated in the US.

The only thing it needs to say is:

Please submit certified translations for all foreign language documents. The translator must certify that s/he is competent to translate and that the translation is accurate.

The translator does not have to be a professional, they can be a friend who is fluent in both languages, they certify it by making a notation on the translation and signing it.

Per USCIS:

I translated Fernanda's birth certificate. Just used the form that KITKAT referred to in her link.

No. You can do this yourself if you are fluent in the language. We recently went for the adjustment of status interview. I was about to pay someone, a translator, 300.00 dolllars to translate a Dutch birth certificate into English. I did it myself and wrote at trhe bottom of the translation that I was fluent in the language, signed ity and certified this to be true. We had no problems. We should be receiving the alien registration cards withina week or so. Already received the welcome letter with the alien registration number.

My intentions are to "self translate" any documents requiring it. I am conversant in Spanish and the documents are usually very straightforward. For example...my "Registro Civil De Matrimonio" (Civil Registry of Marriage) contains basically Where, Date of Marriage, Full names of both of us, My Passport number and Her Cedula number. That is it!

Craig & Karina

Don't pay for a translation. You, or someone you know, can do it yourself/themselves.
