Portuguese online certificates
Portugal now issues a certidão permanente of a birth record online: rather than a paper certificate, the holder receives an access code, and anyone with the code can view the current record on the official site for a limited period. A printout with the code is what most clients send us.
The translation reproduces the access code and its validity date, because they are how the receiving body confirms the record is genuine and current.
Salvadoran birth records, the other large group, come from the civil registry of the municipality where the birth was registered.
