Some examples are the documents that must be submitted to Court or to any Brazilian authorities, such as powers of attorney, invoices, credit instruments, school documents, transcripts, diplomas, etc.

The same applies to sworn or certified translations into English, which have to be sworn if used for official purposes abroad.

You will obtain the number of pages to be translated.
