Photos or documents scanned by cell phone should be clear, only the document should appear, do not photograph other objects.

REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION

1 - Application form for birth registration.

2 - Original and copy of the birth registration certificate.

- If the certificate was issued in a country other than Turkey, the certificate will need to be apostilled (if it was issued in a country that is a member of the Apostille Convention), or legalized by a Brazilian consular office in the country that issued the document (if the country is not a member of the Apostille Convention).

- If the certificate is in a language other than English, Portuguese, French, Spanish or Italian, it must be translated by an official translator.

Please note: the name of the parents on the consular birth registration cannot be different from the one on the Brazilian marriage or birth certificate, even if the composition of the name on the child's foreign birth certificate is different. In order for the registration to be authorized, it will be up to the interested parties, through the presentation of official documents, to prove that the different names identify the same person.
