Brazilian documents
Consular authentication only confirms that the photocopy faithfully corresponds to the original document presented by the applicant.
Confirmation of the authenticity of the original Brazilian document, for purposes of presentation abroad, must be carried out through its apostille in Brazil.
Only photocopies of Brazilian documents may be authenticated, such as:
- Passport
- Identity card (RG)
- CPF
- Professional ID cards issued by regulatory bodies of professional activities
- RNE
- Voter registration card
- National driver’s license (CNH)
- Military enlistment certificate (CAM)
- Work card
- Brazilian birth, marriage, and death certificates
- Other notarial acts (powers of attorney, public deeds, etc.)
- Documents issued by Brazilian consular offices
- Others
Note: The Embassy does not authenticate copies of documents issued digitally (with digital seal).
The Decree-Law No. 2.148/1940 guarantees the validity of the copy authenticated by a competent Brazilian authority as if it were the original for use within Brazilian territory. The consulate cannot guarantee the acceptance of an authenticated copy abroad.
