What usually ties those who live in Tallahassee to Brazil: a Leon County judgment, records at the Consulate General of Brazil in Orlando and assets in Brazil.
Brazilian law governs what is in Brazil and Florida law governs what happens in Tallahassee. CK Advogadas works in the first field. In the second, the proceeding is handled by a lawyer licensed in Florida, and the team indicates which American documents will be needed later in Brazil.
Birth registration for a Brazilian's child in Tallahassee is done by the Consulate General of Brazil in Orlando. The consular certificate is then transcribed at a registry office in Brazil to have full effect, including school enrollment, CPF (Brazilian taxpayer number) and inheritance. The team guides the sequence and the documents for each step.
In Tallahassee, divorce is handled by the Circuit Court of the Second Judicial Circuit, Leon 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.
Consular divorce is an alternative to the Leon County court proceeding when both spouses are Brazilian and in agreement. The act is done at the Consulate General of Brazil in Orlando, with the assistance of a lawyer required by art. 18, §2, of the Law of Introduction to the Norms of Brazilian Law, does not require recognition by the STJ and is annotated at the registry office where the marriage is registered. Appointment availability and required documents vary and are confirmed in advance.
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.
