Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Education / Pedagogy / Brazilian diploma from a vocational school/college
Portuguese term or phrase: C.M.
Follows after name of student, and indicates some kind of ID number, as it is followed by a 7-digit number followed by a dash and then a final digit.
It's a so-called certificate of completion. Wonder if that is different from a diploma - I guess that would be my next question.

I've seen many places calling it Certificado de Matricula (CM), but it was different places.
Like at ANAC's website http://www2.anac.gov.br/rab/perguntas/perguntas.asp
...Os Certificados de matrícula (CM)..
However, as I said before I believe it can change from place to place.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Yes, that was my first thought. I just can't make up my mind until I know exactly what this abbreviation signifies exactly, how it expands literally.
