Documents from Angola for use in Brazil
Documents issued in Angola must be legalized at the Brazilian consulate in the country of origin. Once in Brazil, if they are in another language, they need a sworn translation — which we produce.
Consular requirements change often. We always confirm current requirements before starting.
