1What it is
The Hague Apostille certifies that a Brazilian public document is authentic, so it is accepted in countries that are party to the Apostille Convention, such as Portugal, Spain, Italy, France, Germany and the United States.
The apostille is issued by a Brazilian registry office and can be delivered electronically (PDF), with online verification. We handle it all: document check, an updated certificate when needed, the apostille and delivery.
2Who can apply
- Anyone presenting Brazilian documents in another country
- People applying for citizenship, residence, a visa or marriage abroad

The apostille is only valid in Hague Convention countries. For other countries the route is consular legalisation; we tell you which one applies.
6Questions about this service
Is a PDF apostille accepted?
The electronic apostille is valid and the receiving office can verify it online. If they require paper, we send the physical copy.
Which documents can be apostilled?
Brazilian public documents: civil registry certificates, diplomas and transcripts, court documents, public deeds and powers of attorney, plus private documents with a notarised signature.
Does the translation need an apostille too?
It depends on the country. Some accept a sworn translation made in Brazil and apostilled; others require a local translation. We tell you the right route.
My certificate is old. Will it do?
Many foreign offices ask for recently issued certificates. When that is the case, we order an updated certificate before the apostille.
