A foreign document has no automatic effect in Brazil, and an act performed outside the country usually requires a step here to be valid. Two situations come up often: those who live in São João da Mata and married, divorced or inherited abroad, and those who left São João da Mata and need to resolve something that stayed in Brazil. CK Advogadas works on both.

The pending issue is usually discovered at the wrong time: when buying property, opening probate or filing for divorce. Those whose civil records are tied to São João da Mata and who married abroad resolve it with consular registration, apostille, sworn translation and transcription. It is sequential paperwork, and the order of the steps is what causes the most delay when done without guidance.
Complementary Law 227/2026 filled the gap identified by the Supreme Federal Court in Theme 825 and defined which state is competent to levy ITCMD (inheritance and gift tax) in situations with an element abroad. In the inheritance of a deceased person domiciled abroad, the tax belongs to the state where the heir is domiciled; in a gift coming from abroad, to the state of the recipient. Collection on these terms still depends on state law and the tax anteriority rule.
A simple uncontested divorce, which only dissolves the marriage, goes directly to the Civil Registry where the marriage was transcribed or registered, by annotation governed by the National Code of Rules of the National Inspectorate of Justice. A contested divorce, and a qualified uncontested one that deals with custody, support or division of assets, still depends on recognition by the STJ. The judgment may be recognized in parts.
An acknowledgment made abroad must be transcribed to have effect in Brazil. If there is no voluntary acknowledgment, a paternity suit is possible, and it proceeds even with the other party living abroad, through service by the appropriate route, including international legal cooperation mechanisms.
The child of a Brazilian born abroad is registered at the competent Brazilian consulate, and the consular certificate is then transcribed at a Civil Registry in Brazil. Transcription is what allows the record to have full domestic effect, including issuing documents, school enrollment and inheritance matters.
