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 Ji-Paraná and married, divorced or inherited abroad, and those who left Ji-Paraná and need to resolve something that stayed in Brazil. CK Advogadas works on both.

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.
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 marriage celebrated abroad is valid, but it only has full effect in Brazil after it is registered here. The usual sequence is registration at the Brazilian consulate of the country of celebration and then transcription of the certificate at the competent Civil Registry in Brazil. Without that transcription, the marriage does not appear on Brazilian certificates and cannot be annotated or dissolved in the country.
Name, support and inheritance rights derive from parentage, and none of these effects is lost because of distance. The production of evidence, including genetic testing, is organized considering where each party lives and the cost of travel.
The order of the steps matters: apostilling after translating, or translating from a copy without an apostille, usually results in rejection and rework. Birth, marriage and death certificates, judgments, powers of attorney and diplomas follow the same procedure, with specific requirements from each recipient.
