Hague Apostille from Brazil

How the Hague Apostille from Brazil works

The Hague Apostille (Apostila de Haia) is a certificate issued under the 1961 Hague Convention that authenticates the signature, seal and capacity of the public official who signed a document in Brazil, so it is recognized in every other Hague member state without further embassy legalization. Notary7 files your document with National Council of Justice (Conselho Nacional de Justiça - CNJ) (Conselho Nacional de Justiça (CNJ)) and returns the fully apostilled original — ready to be relied on abroad.

We handle every document type commonly issued in Brazil — including notarized documents, civil records, court and academic documents, and corporate records — in English, Portuguese or any language, with certified translation available when your destination country requires it. In Brazil, the Apostille is issued by notary publics (cartórios) authorized by the National Council of Justice (CNJ) since 2016. The process involves verifying the signature of the issuing Brazilian authority and affixing the Apostille certificate directly to the document. This eliminates the need for further diplomatic or consular legalization when the document is to be used in another signatory country of the Hague Apostille Convention. Brazilian Apostilles are widely accepted in over a hundred member countries, simplifying the cross-border use of official documents.
