Divorce
A foreign divorce order is only effective in Brazil after its homologation by the Superior Court of Justice (Supremo Tribunal de Justiça).
The Brazilian citizen will be able to register a new marriage at a Consular Representation only after this process has been completed.
1) a power-of-attorney for the lawyer (see Power of Attorney/consular fee NOK160);
2) the original foreign divorce decree, which should first be legalized by the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (UD) and then by the Consulate Section of this Embassy (see Legalization of documents/ consular fee NOK 160);
3) the original Brazilian marriage certificate. Those who have married abroad and have not registered the marriage at a Brazilian Consular representation must have their foreign marriage certificate legalized by the Consulate Section of this Embassy (see Legalization of documents/ consular fee NOK 160);
4) whenever possible, a declaration from the ex-husband/wife, stating his/her agreement with the request of homologation. This declaration must be notarized and then legalized by the Consulate Section of this Embassy (see Legalization of documents/ consular fee NOK160);
To be valid in Brazil, documents issued abroad must be legalized by the Brazilian Embassy or Consulate in the country where documents were issued.
See “Legalization of Documents”.
Once legalized, documents must be translated into Portuguese by a sworn translator in Brazil. See “List of Public Translators”.
Any questions should be forwarded to consular@brasil.no.
