Itamaraty

Itamaraty is the epicenter of Brazilian diplomacy, strengthening ties between nations and representing the country's interests globally. Its history of diplomatic success is marked by contributions to world peace and development. In addition to being a guardian of national values, Itamaraty promotes dialogue and the peaceful resolution of conflicts, essential for building a more just world. Not just a diplomatic body, Itamaraty is a bridge to resolve a variety of issues, from assisting Brazilian citizens abroad to facilitating international agreements.

In particular, it plays a crucial role in the legalization of documents such as birth certificates and criminal records, essential for interaction between Brazil and Portugal. Before being recognized by the Portuguese consulate , such documents must undergo validation by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Although some offices offer this service in person or by mail, it is essential to note that, when opting for postal delivery, the transportation costs must be borne by the applicant. This validation is a tangible example of Itamaraty's commitment to ensuring the fluidity and legitimacy of relations between the two countries.
