Apostille for Brazil

Documents for Brazil

What people send to Brazil

The requests we see most for Brazil involve marriage registration and powers of attorney for property and banking. In each case the chain is the same: the document is signed and notarized in our online session, the Florida Secretary of State attaches the apostille, and the package ships — to your US address, or directly to Brazil with express international delivery.

Copies of passports, diplomas, and transcripts travel a well-established route: you sign a sworn true-copy statement (we prepare it for you), we notarize that statement, and the apostille covers the notarized package. Confirm the format with your receiving authority in Brazil, and we'll flag anything unusual before your session.

Signing from Brazil?

Often possible. Florida law permits online notarization for signers located abroad when the document relates to a US court or government matter, or a transaction substantially connected to the United States — which covers many common cases. Mention your location in the request form and we'll confirm your document qualifies before you pay.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Brazil accept a Florida apostille?

Yes. Brazil is a Hague Apostille Convention member, and members accept apostilles from any US competent authority. A Florida apostille has the same legal force in Brazil as one from any other state.

Can you ship directly to Brazil?

Yes — choose worldwide delivery ($499 per document, all-inclusive) and the apostilled package ships by express international courier straight to the recipient in Brazil, fully tracked.

Do I need to translate the document?

That depends on the receiving authority in Brazil. If a translation is required, our certified translator prepares it with a sworn accuracy statement we notarize and apostille in the same order — the complete chain, one price quote.

What if I'm physically in Brazil right now?

Online notarization for signers abroad is permitted when the document has a genuine US connection — a US court or agency matter, or a transaction substantially connected to the US. Tell us your situation in the request form and we'll confirm eligibility before any payment.

Do I need to mail you anything?

No. You upload your document and sign in a live online session. We handle the printing, certification, and Florida Department of State filing on our end — the only physical shipment is the finished apostilled package delivered to you.

What exactly do I receive at the end?

A tracked package containing your notarized document with the official Florida apostille certificate attached by the Department of State — security paper, gold embossed seal, unique verification number — plus the digitally sealed PDF from your session for your records.

Is online notarization legal?

Yes. Remote online notarization is authorized by Florida Statutes Chapter 117, Part II, is recognized across the US, and the Florida Department of State accepts remotely notarized documents for apostille.

Can you ship the finished package abroad?

Yes — the worldwide delivery option sends the apostilled package by express international courier directly to any Hague Convention country, fully tracked, typically arriving in 2–5 business days after the apostille is issued.
