Apostille for Brazil
Legalize your US documents for Brazilian residency and business.
Authenticating Documents for Brazil
In 2016, Brazil officially joined the Hague Apostille Convention. This was a massive relief for expats and businesses, as it eliminated the incredibly complex consular legalization process. Today, a standard US Apostille is fully recognized by Brazilian cartórios (notary offices) and federal authorities.
Whether you are marrying a Brazilian citizen, applying for a permanent VIPER visa, or registering a subsidiary of your US corporation in São Paulo, we manage the apostille authentication process securely and efficiently.
Documents Commonly Apostilled for Brazil:
- FBI Background Checks (Required for Residency)
- Birth Certificates (Required for CPF registration or Marriage)
- Marriage Certificates and Divorce Decrees
- Commercial Invoices and Certificates of Origin
- Powers of Attorney
Note: Brazil generally requires documents to be translated into Portuguese by a sworn translator (tradutor juramentado) within Brazil after the US Apostille is affixed.
