Brazil Legal Wedding
Civil marriage in Brazil
Proposal for a Civil Marriage for Foreigners in Brazil.
Our office has the full flow and expertise to meet the needs of a same-sex couple wishing to legalize their civil marriage in Brazil.
Local support for your civil marriage
Planning a civil marriage in another country involves documents, local requirements and decisions that need to happen in the right order.
Brazil Legal Wedding connects these stages: understanding the couple's situation, organizing the documentary arrangements and following the contact with the professionals and bodies involved.
You receive guidance on what needs to be prepared and which points still depend on confirmation.
How our support works
Understand your circumstances
We talk about nationalities, country of residence, marital status and the period in which you wish to come to Brazil.
Check requirements
The requirements need to be confirmed with the responsible registry office and, when necessary, with qualified professionals.
Coordinate documents
We help follow the documents and the required arrangements, which may involve sworn translation, apostille, legalization or registrations.
Plan the next steps
With the requirements clarified, we follow the organization of the stages, the contacts and the planning of the couple's presence in Brazil.
Coordinate the ceremony
After the qualification and the confirmation by the registry office, we coordinate the details provided for in the contracted service for that moment.
Who handles each stage
Our role is support and coordination. The qualification and the civil celebration are conducted by the competent authorities; translations and legal services, when necessary, are the responsibility of the respective qualified professionals.

Frequently asked questions

Foreigners can marry in Brazil, upon meeting the applicable requirements. The situation of each couple needs to be checked with the responsible registry office.
Not automatically. The recognition and the effects of the marriage outside Brazil depend on the laws of each country. This question should be confirmed with legal advice in the place where you intend to use the certificate.
The list depends on the case, the documents of origin and the applicable requirements. After the first contact, we organize the information necessary to check the process.
The timeline depends on the documentary arrangements and on the processing at the registry office. The travel planning should consider these confirmations.
No. The service can be contracted for the civil process or combined with a celebration experience.
