Passports or identity cards (RG) are accepted. Please note: In order to prevent fraud, the Consulate can only issue powers of attorney when it is certain that the person requesting the service is in fact who s/he claims to be. The person's identity can be confirmed by verifying an original Brazilian document containing a photo. When the document is not recent, it may be difficult to identify the person in the photograph. If it is not possible to identify the individual without any doubt after verifying the document presented, in order to secure the documents and the persons concerned, the Consulate reserves the right to refuse to provide the requested service. Therefore, it is recommended that all Brazilians living abroad keep a valid Brazilian passport. |

"União estável" declaration in public form (deed)
Important information
- The Consulate may issue this public deed to Brazilian nationals or to couples comprised of a Brazilian citizen and a foreign citizen holding a valid National Registry of Foreigners - RNE card.
- The "união estável" declaration in public form (deed) is the instrument used to prove the individuals live continuously together as a couple, of public and long-lasting nature, with the objective to establish a family (Brazilian Civil Code, art. 1,723 to 1,727).
- The "união estável" deed makes certain benefits possible for the couple (e.g. inclusion in health and life insurances), and makes it easier to prove the union in case of separation or death of one of the individuals, pension and division of property, amongst other rights.
- As opposed to marriage, the so-called "união estável" does not alter the applicants' marital status.
- When drawing the public deed, the parties concerned must sign a marital status declaration, with two witnesses, so as to prove there is no impediment for the couple to constitute a "união estável".
- The "união estável" cannot be constituted if the impediments listed on art. 1,521 of the Brazilian Civil Code occur.
- Similarly to what happens in case of divorce, the end of a "união estável" must be registered by means of a deed of dissolution of "união estável", for which the couple must seek legal advice. The Consulate does not draw deeds of dissolution. In this case, the persons concerned must seek legal advice in Brazil.
