Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Ensure all Brazilian documents bear the original cartorio stamp and signature before sending them for authentication, as the Itamaraty will reject documents without proper notarial certification from a registered cartorio.
- Brazilian birth and marriage certificates should be requested as "certidao de inteiro teor" (full transcript) rather than the abbreviated version, as UAE authorities require the complete document for immigration processing.
- If your Brazilian documents are older than twelve months, request updated certified copies from the issuing cartorio or civil registry, as UAE immigration authorities may reject documents with outdated issuance dates.
Frequently Asked Questions
Brazilian documents must follow a specific chain: first, notarization at a cartorio (notary office), then authentication by the relevant state authority, followed by legalization at the Itamaraty (Ministry of Foreign Affairs), and finally UAE embassy attestation. GreenAttest handles every step of this chain on your behalf.
Brazil is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention, but the UAE requires full embassy attestation rather than just an Apostille for most document types. GreenAttest ensures your documents go through the correct pathway, which includes Itamaraty legalization followed by UAE consular attestation.
Yes, we process documents from all 26 Brazilian states and the Federal District. Each state may have slightly different requirements at the cartorio and state authority level. Our local partners across Brazil ensure the correct procedure is followed regardless of where your documents were issued.
Brazilian university degrees require authentication by the issuing institution, followed by cartorio notarization, state education authority verification, Itamaraty legalization, and UAE embassy attestation. For degrees from federal universities, the process routes through the Ministry of Education (MEC) before Itamaraty.
