I've just looked at the law that governs sworn translators, which was written in 1943 and has remained virtually unchanged since that date. On it's face it seems to violate the Federal Constitution of 1988 which is crystal clear about EVERYONE being equal before the law, and the rights of both Brazilians and foreigners to exercise any kind of work, that is permitted by law and not reserved specifically for born Brazilians.
Since there is absolutely no regulation or oversight of the profession, once authorized by the Commercial Board in a state to act as a translator, and there is NO REQUIREMENT whatsoever that the individual possess any kind of diploma or certificate in the language; in theory someone who was born and raised in Lower Slobovia and learned both English and Portuguese there (neither of which are the mother tongue), could simply by virtue of naturalizing as a Brazilian have the legal right to act as a sworn translator if they passed the test. This is absolutely ridiculous and now I understand exactly why translations in this country are so horrible.
Cheers,
James
