Apostille, sworn translation and legalization of documents between Brazil and the United States, so a paper issued in one country is accepted in the other. We handle the whole chain, without you travelling.
If your case fits one of these scenarios, our team runs the whole procedure in Brazil with no need for you to travel.
A document issued in one country has no automatic effect in the other. Without the apostille and the sworn translation, the registry refuses it, the court rejects it and the procedure stops — usually at the worst moment, with a deal or a deadline already running.
Service in your own time zone in the United States (in Portuguese, English or Spanish) and execution in person at registries and courts in any Brazilian state.
We review your documents and build the legal strategy that best fits your case.
We arrange the sworn translation and the Hague Apostille with no hassle.
Our team files and follows the case in person at registries and courts.
You receive the certificate or recorded document digitally and by physical mail.
Each route carries different requirements and costs. Reviewing your documents we determine which applies — and the estimated timeline goes in writing in the proposal, before any payment.

A certificate that authenticates the origin of a public document so it is accepted in another country that is party to the convention. Brazil and the United States are both parties, which removes the need for consular legalization.
Not for official use in Brazil. Only a sworn translation is accepted by registries, courts and public bodies.
In the country that issued the document. An American paper is apostilled in the issuing state; a Brazilian one is apostilled in Brazil.
It depends on the receiving body. Some accept the digital version with a verification code, others require the physical original. We check this before starting.
The apostille itself does not expire. What may expire is the underlying document, such as a certificate with a limited period of validity.
It takes two minutes to fill in. A Brazilian lawyer reviews your case and replies in writing with what can be done, how long it takes and what it costs.
