Certified copies of certificates (marriage, birth and death) issued by the Consulate
The Consulate can issue certified copies of civil registry certificates, as long as they have been issued by this Consulate and have not been transcribed in Brazil yet.
The Consulate cannot issue certified copies of certificates issued by Brazilian civil registry offices. In this case, the person concerned must contact directly the civil registry office where the entry was registered.
