Certified true copies from a Brazilian notary

Many procedures abroad accept a certified true copy instead of the original — especially when you cannot part with the original, such as a passport or a diploma.

We arrange the certified copy at a Brazilian notary office (cartório) and, when the destination requires it, the apostille on the certified copy and the sworn translation. The document arrives abroad ready to be accepted.

What's included

  • Certification at a notary office (tabelionato de notas)
  • Apostille on the certified copy if needed
  • Sworn translation of the document
  • Shipping within Brazil or abroad

Common documents and situations

  • Passports and ID documents
  • Diplomas and certificates
  • Contracts and company documents
  • Professional licences

How it works

  1. Tell us what the copy is for

    The purpose decides whether it also needs an apostille and translation.

  2. Send the original

    We receive the original, or tell you which local notary office to visit.

  3. Certification

    The notary compares the copy with the original and certifies it.

  4. Return

    The original and certified copy are returned by courier.

Frequently asked questions

Can a certified copy be apostilled?

Yes. A copy certified by a Brazilian notary is a public document and can receive a Hague apostille.

Can you certify copies of foreign documents?

A Brazilian notary can certify a copy of any document presented in original, but this does not replace the apostille or legalization from the issuing country. We advise case by case.
