Me again

I need to get an official translation for my son's birth certificate from Portuguese to English, so I can present it when registering my son to the primary school.
Can anyone advise me where could I get this document translated in a way that would be valid for this purpose?

Thanks again!

Antonio

If you need a certified translation from Portuguese to English, in the consulate of Portugal in Malta they should know how to proceed or who to contact.

Chancelaria: 36A Archbishop Street
Valletta VLT 08
Telefone: +(356) 212 47 109

Well, tried to call the number above, but was getting a wrong number voice message. After doing some search, it seems that the Portuguese Consulate in Malta, does not exist anymore. I read some news back from 2011, saying that "Portugal will no longer have embassies in Malta, Andorra, Latvia, Estonia, Lithuania, Bosnia..."
It seems that this option is no longer applicable

I am still looking for some more suggestions please! Thanks
