If the document was issued in a country other than Germany, it must have the Hague Apostille. In the countries where the Hague Apostille is not applicable, the document must be legalized by a Brazilian consulate / embassy.

Note: The purpose of submitting this document is to avoid discrepancies between the information contained in the visa application and the birth certificate itself. Since the birth certificate must be presented during the mandatory registration of the visa with the Federal Police in Brazil (see below), any discrepancy will prevent the completion of this process. Therefore, the presentation of the birth certificate during the visa application phase abroad is not mandatory and will not prevent the visa from being issued, but it is highly recommended in order to avoid possible inconveniences.
