Without consular registration, a child born in Coral Springs has no Brazilian certificate, cannot obtain a Brazilian passport and is left out of inheritance matters in Brazil until it is regularized. When registration was not done at the time, the Florida birth certificate, issued by the Florida Department of Health and apostilled, is the basis for regularization.
In Coral Springs, divorce is handled by the Circuit Court of the Seventeenth Judicial Circuit, Broward County, and ends with the Final Judgment of Dissolution of Marriage. To be valid in Brazil, the certified copy issued by the county Clerk receives an apostille from the Florida Department of State and a sworn translation. If the divorce was uncontested and only dissolved the marriage, it is annotated directly in the Brazilian Civil Registry, under art. 961, §5, of the Code of Civil Procedure.
Birth, death, marriage and divorce certificates issued in Florida and documents signed by a notary public receive an apostille from the Florida Department of State. Then they receive a sworn translation in Brazil. The order matters: a translation done before the apostille is usually rejected.
Brazil and the United States are parties to the 1980 Hague Convention on international child abduction. Moving to another country with a child without the other parent's authorization may lead to a return request. A custody decision by the Broward County court only has effect in Brazil after recognition by the STJ.
