Please note: If the applicant has lived in multiple countries within the last 12 months, a police check from each country must be provided. They must also be duly legalised by the respective Brazilian consular authority with jurisdiction over these countries, and translated by a sworn translator, if necessary. |

Original full birth certificate* |
If Irish, present the Certified Copy of an Entry of Birth – full form. In the absence of the full birth certificate, the applicant may submit another official document that contains the parents’ full names. *Attention: submitting this document is intended to prevent any discrepancies between the information contained in the visa application and the birth certificate itself. As the birth certificate will have to be presented during the mandatory registration of the visa with the Federal Police in Brazil, any inconsistent data will preclude the conclusion of this process. Thus, the presentation of the birth certificate during the visa application stage abroad is not compulsory and will not prevent the visa from being issued, but is highly recommended in order to avoid possible inconveniences. The birth certificate must be legalized (get an apostille) by the competent authority in the issuing country. Documents issued in Ireland are legalized by the legalised by the DFA - Department of Foreign Affairs. |
