Original and photocopy (real size of the document) of the official Brazilian document |
Laminated documents shall not be accepted. Please note: a) Each page to be certified must contain the photocopy of one single document. Do not combine, for example, an identity card and a CPF on the same page. b) The back page of the photocopy must be left black to allow the consular seal and stamp to be affixed. c) For passports or documents with multiple pages, the copies may be grouped and certified as one individual document. In that case, the back of the last page must be left blank to allow for the consular seal and stamp to be affixed. This will be charged as a single page certification. |

Singapore Documents
The original Singapore documents and/or their respective photocopies, to be presented in Brazil, must get an apostille. The Apostille Convention entered into force for Singapore on 16 September 2021. From that date onward, documents issued in Singapore intended to be used in Brazil must bear an Apostille Certificate issued by the Singapore Academy of Law.
After getting the apostille, the document no longer needs to be legalised by the Embassy.
For further details, please refer to this announcement by Singapore's Ministry of Law and the legalisation FAQs by the Singapore Academy of Law.
Documents issued outside Singapore
In case of documents issued in other countries (outside Singapore), the party concerned must check with the Brazilian consular authority located in the respective country, with jurisdiction over the place where the document was issued.
