Civil registry, family and nationality

Your family’s story, in documents that hold up.

Citizenship, marriage, inheritance, children born abroad. Family documents demand the most care, and that is where we start.

A surname spelled differently, a mismatched date or a record made abroad that never reached Brazil is enough to stall a citizenship application or an estate settlement.

Before issuing anything, we check what the receiving authority will require and point out what needs correcting. That way the document comes out right the first time.

Understand

The Hague Apostille, made simple.

The step that raises the most questions for anyone using a Brazilian document in another country.

What it is

The apostille is a certificate attached to a Brazilian public document that makes it valid in the countries of the Apostille Convention, signed in The Hague in 1961. It replaces the old consular legalization.

Brazil has applied the convention since 2016, and the apostille is issued by Brazilian registry offices. The convention covers more than 120 countries, including Portugal, Spain, Italy, the United States and Japan.

What if the country is not part of the convention?

The document goes through consular legalization. We point out the path and take care of what can be done in Brazil.

Which documents can be apostilled?
Brazilian public documents: certificates, deeds, notarized powers of attorney, diplomas and court documents, among others.
Do I also need a translation?
It depends on the country and the receiving authority. Many require a sworn translation, which can also be apostilled.
How do I know the apostille is genuine?
A Brazilian apostille can be checked with its verification code, in the official system shown on the document itself.

Who it is for

People, families and companies that rely on public documents on both sides of the border.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is Consulado Postal a consulate?

No. It is a private document services company. Documents are issued by registry offices, sworn translators and the competent authorities; we take care of the request, the checks, the follow-up and the delivery.

How do I get a copy of my Brazilian birth certificate while living abroad?

No need to travel to Brazil. We request the certificate from the registry office where the birth was recorded, short form or full content, and send you the digital file or the paper document. Just give us the full name, date of birth, parents’ names and, if you know it, the registry office.

Which Brazilian documents are needed for Portuguese or Italian citizenship?

Usually the full-content birth, marriage and death certificates of the family line, with the Hague Apostille and, for Italy, a sworn translation into Italian. We check the list required by the consulate or registry before issuing anything, to avoid rework.

How do I apostille a Brazilian document from outside Brazil?

Tell us which document you need and we take care of the apostille at a registry office in Brazil. Certificates issued electronically can also receive an electronic apostille, so the file reaches you without any shipping.

How do I know the document is official?

It is issued by the registry office or competent authority itself, and you receive the receipts for each step. Electronic certificates and apostilles carry a verification code you can check with the issuer.

Do you work with foreign companies?

Yes. We prepare documentation for foreign companies that will operate, invest or buy property in Brazil, including document due diligence, with reports in the company’s language.

How much does it cost?

It depends on the document, the registry office and the destination country. The quote lists official fees, such as registry and translation fees, separately from our service fee.

How long does it take?

Each document has its own timeline, which we state in the quote before you approve it.

How do I register in Brazil a birth or marriage that took place abroad?

Through transcription at the competent civil registry office, based on the foreign certificate or the consular record, with apostille or legalization and sworn translation when required. We check the documents before filing.

Do I need to travel to Brazil to sign a power of attorney?

In most cases, no. A notarized power of attorney can be signed remotely through e-Notariado, by video call and with a digital certificate.
