Before marrying a Brazilian: Firstly, if you’re going to marry a Brazilian, there’s an important tip you need to know: and I did an entire post to talk about this one important tip.
When we’re talking about marriage, if you marry in Brazil, you’re married only in Brazil, and that means that if you want to divorce, you must divorce in Brazil.
Because I speak English, there are a lot of gringos that reach us by e-mail wanting to divorce their wife/husband, and I end up dealing with a lot of cases.
And in many cases, you can find a problem in common: they don’t have a National Migratory Register or National Register of Foreigners.

Before marrying a Brazilian do THIS
The thing is, people marry and don’t expect to divorce. But if you’re doing an international divorce, you MUST prepare yourself.
When people reach me to make their divorce, normally, the gringo is not in Brazil anymore, and hope to make the divorce real without travelling to Brazil again just to sign a simple paper.
And yes, this is possible. And can be very easily done in the Brazilian Embassy IFFFFFFF the gringo has a National Migratory Register or National Register of Foreigners.
That’s it, that is the problem. Very few people have this register number.
For an attorney to sign the divorce for you, a public letter of attorney must exist. PUBLIC, not private.
And guess what: every country has different procedures to do a public letter of attorney, depending on the dealing they have with Brazil. And this is challenging and EXPENSIVE.
However, if you have a National Migratory Register or National Register of Foreigners, you can simply go a Brazilian Embassy and do the simple procedure.
What do I need to do before Marrying a Brazilian?
If you’re marrying a Brazilian you sure are in Brazil.
Go to THIS WEBSITE and follow the steps. Do your National Migratory Register and be happy, knowing that if you ever need a divorce, the procedure will be simple and easy.
Everyone Can do It?
The following people can register:
- Registration of an immigrant holding a temporary visa;
- Residence authorization granted;
- Refugees, stateless persons or asylum seekers, already recognized by the competent bodies.
What If it’s not my Case?
If you don’t qualify for the National Migratory Register it’s better to think a little if you need to marry in Brazil.
If you’re not going to stay here, why marry here? You can marry in the country the couple will stay.
