Overview

Firstly, you will need to register at the Brazilian Consulate or Embassy in the country where the marriage ceremony was celebrated. Secondly, you will need to get it legally transcribed and recognized in Brazil. Only after those two steps, the marriage will be legally effective in Brazil. After this procedure, the foreign spouse will be entitled to request permanent residence permit to live in Brazil. This is general information only. The appropriate legal path depends on the facts, timing, and authority involved. Before taking action, confirm the current rules for your situation and obtain individual legal advice where appropriate.
