Why You Need a Notary for Brazil Documents
Brazil authorities — whether immigration, banking, legal, or professional licensing bodies — require that documents presented from Ireland bear the certification of a qualified notary public. A notarial certificate confirms the authenticity of the document and the identity of its signatory. For Brazil, this is then typically followed by an apostille or, in some cases, embassy legalisation.
Documents Commonly Required for Brazil
- Passport certified copy
- Birth and marriage certificates
- Police clearance certificate
- Degree certificates
- Power of attorney for property transactions
- Company documents for Brazilian entity setup
Common Uses for Brazil-Bound Notarised Documents
- Brazilian permanent residence (VIPER or VITEM) applications
- Marriage registration in Brazil with Brazilian nationals
- Property purchase in Brazil through power of attorney

- Business visa and company setup in Brazil
Apostille and Legalisation for Brazil
Brazil is a Hague Apostille Convention country (having acceded in 2016). Irish documents notarised by Hugh Phelan must be apostilled by the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs before submission to a Brazilian cartório (notarial office), the Polícia Federal (immigration), or Brazilian consulates.
Brazilian cartórios have specific requirements for translated documents. A sworn translation (tradução juramentada) into Portuguese by a certified translator may also be required after notarisation and apostille.
