Criminal Records

LEGALISATION OF A CRIMINAL RECORD CERTIFICATE ISSUED BY THE FEDERAL POLICE

Criminal record certificates issued electronically by the Federal Police Department can be legalised at the Consulate once the authenticity of the document has been verified.

We recommend using a mobile phone or computer with a scanner to fill in the following forms, as you will need to send images (or photos) of documents.

Photos or documents scanned by mobile phone should be clear, only the document should appear, do not photograph other objects.

REQUIRED DOCUMENTS 

1 - Original certificate, obtained from the Federal Police website. Click here.

2 - Proof of payment of USD 5.00 (five dollars).

HOW TO APPLY

Gather the necessary documentation and request the service via the e-consular system: https://ec-istambul.itamaraty.gov.br

Once the documentation has been checked, your visit to the Consulate will be authorised. Keep an eye on your e-mail address to keep up with updates, as the appointment will be made by the concerned person once they have received the e-mail.

On the day of the appointment, don't forget to bring your original documents and proof of payment.
