Overview
A stable union formed abroad can be recognized in Brazil through registration, although this is not mandatory. However, to ensure that the union has legal effects in Brazil, especially in matters such as inheritance, benefits or immigration, it is recommended to register it with a Brazilian registry office. If the couple is going to live in Brazil, registering this stable union in Brazil is essential so that the foreign person can apply for a residence permit to live in the country. The process is extrajudicial and involves the presentation of the stable union certificate issued in the country of origin, in addition to other required documents. Registration in Brazil ensures that the stable union has legal validity in the country, providing greater security in various legal situations.
