What Greenhouse Coordinates

Greenhouse reviews the document type and issuing jurisdiction, coordinates any required Virginia notarization, obtains the correct state or federal apostille, and returns the completed file. Brazil-bound matters commonly involve vital records, powers of attorney, academic records, corporate documents, and federal records. For broader routing help, review our apostille and document authentication services.

Common File Types

  • Birth, death and marriage certificates
  • Court orders and civil records
  • Powers of attorney and affidavits
  • Diplomas and educational documents
  • FBI and other federal records
  • Corporate and commercial documents

Current Brazil Processing Note

Brazil has used the Apostille Convention since 2016. Portuguese translation or Brazil-specific document preparation may be required separately by the receiving authority, so Greenhouse confirms the requested format at intake.

Why We Review First

Document routing depends on who issued the document, the receiving authority, and the intended use. Greenhouse confirms the correct sequence before quoting the file so unnecessary steps and avoidable rejections can be reduced.

Brazil Document FAQ

Common Questions Before You Send a File

International-document requirements can vary by document and receiving authority. Greenhouse confirms the route at intake before processing begins.

Do U.S. documents for Brazil need an apostille or embassy legalization?

Qualifying U.S. public documents intended for use in Brazil generally follow the apostille route, but the exact preparation still depends on who issued the document and what the receiving authority requests.

Can Greenhouse handle an FBI background check for use in Brazil?

Yes. FBI Identity History Summary documents are federal records. Greenhouse can review the Brazil destination requirements and coordinate the appropriate U.S. federal apostille or authentication step. See our FBI background check apostille service for the federal workflow.

Can I send Greenhouse documents if I do not live in Virginia or Washington, DC?

Yes. Greenhouse accepts document-service requests from clients and professional partners nationwide. Your location does not determine the authentication authority; the issuing jurisdiction, document type and destination country do.

Can agencies send Greenhouse recurring Brazil files?

Yes. Translation agencies, adoption agencies, immigration firms, law firms, global-mobility teams and other professional partners can use Greenhouse for repeat or white-label processing. See Agency Partnerships for the B2B workflow.
