Administrative Assistance in Carcavelos

About our service in Carcavelos

Carcavelos lives partly to the rhythm of its international schools, and that shapes the kind of cases we handle here. Families arrive from various countries, sometimes halfway through the school year, bringing school records built in other education systems. The school asks for the transcript of grades, the certificate for the year completed, the vaccination record and a proof of address; the Portuguese system asks for equivalência de habilitações, the official recognition of qualifications that makes that record count here. Each document comes with its own rules on translation and legalisation, and the order in which things are requested makes a real difference to how long it all takes. The work starts with a simple map: what the school requires, what the education authorities require, and what does not yet exist. From there we obtain the certificates from the previous school, arrange certified translation where it is needed, deal with the legalisation demanded of the issuing country and prepare the recognition application with everything in order. We also gather the proofs that always surface at the last moment and that nobody has to hand: address, household composition, vaccination, school insurance, permission slips for trips and transport. Then we follow the case until the school confirms the file is complete, rather than leaving the family guessing. It is worth saying what falls outside this. We are not lawyers (advogados) or certified accountants (contabilistas certificados) and we give no legal or tax advice, nor advice on immigration or on which school path to choose, which is a matter for the school and the education services. We do not produce certified translations ourselves: we route them to a qualified translator and check that the result meets what the receiving body asks for. And we promise no places, no recognitions and no decision dates, because those rest with whoever assesses the file. What we guarantee is an application that is complete, legible and submitted on time.
