Consular certification only confirms that the photocopy faithfully corresponds to the original document presented by the applicant. In order to be presented abroad, the original document's authenticity confirmation is done by the issuing of an apostille in Brazil.
How to apply
With the required documents in hand, submit the application for the service via the e-consular platform: https://ec-capetown.itamaraty.gov.br
Required documents

Please note:
- 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.
- The back page of the photocopy must be left blank to allow the consular stamp to be affixed.
- In case of passports, 4 passport pages may be photocopied on the same side of the sheet. The back page of the photocopy must be left blank to allow the consular stamp to be affixed. In this case, each sheet will be charged as a single document certification.
