Policia Federal Clearance Bundle
Policia Federal Clearance Bundle
UAE employers and immigration authorities require a police clearance certificate for most employment visa and residency applications. For Brazilian nationals and residents, the accepted document is the Atestado de Antecedentes Criminais issued by the Policia Federal (Brazilian Federal Police). This certificate confirms your criminal record status at the national level and must be fully authenticated before UAE authorities will accept it.
The Policia Federal clearance presents a timing challenge similar to other police clearances: it has a limited validity period (typically 90 days), and the full Brazilian authentication chain (Cartorio, Itamaraty, sworn translation) must be completed within that window. Any delay at a single step can invalidate the document, requiring you to obtain a new clearance and start the process over.
Green Apple Attest's Policia Federal Clearance Bundle is designed to eliminate this risk. We guide you through the clearance application process, monitor issuance, and begin the authentication chain immediately upon receipt. Cartorio notarization, Itamaraty legalization, and sworn translation proceed in rapid sequence with no gaps between steps. The fully authenticated and translated clearance is delivered to your UAE address with maximum remaining validity.
For clients who have already obtained their Policia Federal clearance, we assess the remaining validity window and determine whether there is sufficient time to complete the authentication chain. If the window is tight, our express processing track compresses the timeline to preserve your document's validity for UAE submission.
Documents Required
- Policia Federal Atestado de Antecedentes Criminais (original, or Green Apple Attest can guide you through the application)
- Clear photocopy of your valid passport and CPF
- Completed Green Apple Attest service request form
- Authorization letter (procuracao) granting Green Apple Attest permission to process the document through all authentication stages
- UAE employer letter or visa application reference number (helps confirm timing requirements)
- Proof of identity for the Policia Federal application (if not yet obtained)
Special Requirements
- • The Policia Federal clearance requires your CPF (Cadastro de Pessoas Fisicas) to be active and in good standing. Individuals with an irregular CPF status must resolve the issue with the Receita Federal before the clearance can be issued.
- • Individuals with dual nationality (Brazilian and another country) may need to provide the Policia Federal clearance from Brazil and a separate police clearance from the other country of nationality.

Insider Tips
Insider Tips
- Apply for your Policia Federal clearance as soon as you know you need it. The document is issued quickly, but the 90-day validity clock starts from the issue date, so coordinating with the authentication timeline is critical.
- Keep your CPF registration active and updated. An inactive CPF can cause delays in the Policia Federal clearance application. Green Apple Attest can advise on CPF reactivation if needed.
- If you have lived in multiple countries, check with your UAE employer whether they require police clearances from each country of residence in addition to the Brazilian Policia Federal clearance.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Policia Federal clearance can be requested online through the Policia Federal website. You will need your CPF number and personal identification details. Green Apple Attest provides step-by-step guidance through the online application and advises on the identity verification process.
The Policia Federal clearance is typically valid for 90 days from the date of issue. This means the entire authentication chain must be completed within that window. Green Apple Attest's bundled approach is designed to complete all steps within the validity period.
The clearance itself is usually issued within a few days of application. The subsequent authentication chain (Cartorio, Itamaraty, sworn translation) adds 4-6 weeks under standard processing. Green Apple Attest coordinates all steps to maximize the remaining validity on your document.
If the 90-day window is at risk, Green Apple Attest activates express processing to compress the timeline. If the clearance does expire, a new one must be obtained and the chain restarted. Our timing management is designed to prevent this scenario.
Most UAE authorities specifically require the national Policia Federal clearance rather than state-level police certificates. The federal certificate covers all of Brazil, while state certificates cover only that state. Green Apple Attest recommends the federal certificate unless your employer explicitly states otherwise.
