Overview

If you are getting married to a Brazilian person and need a document stating their civil status, you can obtain a Consular Declaration of Civil Status from the nearest Brazilian consulate or embassy. This document serves as official proof of their marital status and is essential for formalising marriages abroad. It ensures that the marriage will be legally recognized both internationally and in Brazil, adhering to the legal requirements of both countries. Any discrepancy in stating one's marital status, such as falsely claiming to be single while actually married, can have severe legal repercussions. According to Brazilian law, this behaviour constitutes ideological falsehood and, if it leads to a subsequent marriage, it qualifies as the crime of bigamy. Such infractions can lead to the invalidation of all legal proceedings stemming from the misrepresented information.
