Translation requirements depend on the country, application purpose, and filing post. Check the accepted language, translator certification, and document pages before ordering.
The checked Washington non-lucrative, telework, study, and NALCAP instructions require an accepted Spanish translation of the FBI report. Washington explicitly says the apostille page does not need translation. Washington and several other posts accept an ATA-certified route as well as a Spanish ministry sworn-translator route. Confirm the route at your filing post.

The current U.S. D7, D9 remote-work, and D4 study checklists require an apostilled FBI clearance for applicants to whom the FBI rule applies, but do not state a blanket Portuguese-translation rule for that document or its apostille. Confirm the language, accepted certification, and pages with your filing post or VFS center before purchasing translation.
AIMA’s investment residence guidance explicitly requires a Portuguese translation of the criminal-record certificate issued less than three months before submission. Confirm the accepted translator and whether the apostille page is included for your filing.
Obtain the FBI report, get the U.S. Department of State apostille, then request the translation specified by the receiving authority. Some posts require translation of the FBI report but explicitly exempt the apostille page. Share your purpose and filing post so the quote covers the right work.
