When do you need legalization for Brazil?
Swedish documents are not automatically valid in Brazil. Authorities, employers and educational institutions in Brazil require that documents are first verified by Swedish authorities and then apostilled before they can be used. The most common situations where we help our customers:
Work in Brazil
Work permit applications, employment contracts and professional licenses for Brazil typically require legalized education certificates and police clearance.
Studies in Brazil
Universities in Brazil demand legalized diplomas, transcripts and grade certificates as part of admission for international students.
Family matters
Marriage, family reunification, birth registration and adoption in Brazil require legalized marriage certificates, birth certificates and personbevis.
Business & company
Setting up subsidiaries, signing contracts or registering trademarks in Brazil requires legalized registreringsbevis, articles of association and powers of attorney.
Processing time for Brazil
The complete legalization chain for Brazil typically takes around 3-5 working days from the moment we receive your originals until they are ready for return delivery. The timeline is mainly determined by the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs' apostille queue.
What we can do is run every step in parallel where possible — notarized documents go to UD immediately, and as soon as UD is finished we submit them to the apostille service the same day. You receive automatic status updates by email every time your case moves forward.
Need it faster? Contact us before ordering — for urgent Brazil cases we can sometimes offer express handling at Embassy of Brazil in Stockholm for an additional fee.
Cost for Brazil
Legalization for Brazil starts at 800 SEK for a single private document. The price covers the entire chain — notarization at Notarius Publicus, verification by the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs and apostille.
Multi-document orders qualify for our bundle pricing and typically come out cheaper per document. Company documents from Bolagsverket and Skatteverket don't need notarization and follow a separate price list.
All prices include VAT and outlays paid on your behalf to authorities. There are no hidden fees — you see the final amount before payment.

Brazil is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention of 1961. This means Swedish documents only need a single apostille stamp from the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs to be recognized as authentic in Brazil — no embassy step is required.
Apostille is faster and cheaper than the full embassy chain non-Hague countries require. Private documents (birth certificates, marriage certificates, education diplomas etc.) still need to be notarized by Notarius Publicus first, but company documents from Bolagsverket and Skatteverket go directly to UD for apostille.
Always check with the recipient in Brazil whether they require a certified translation in addition to the apostille — this is a separate step we can also handle for you.
