I have a question that has bothered me and is bothering me again. Did you update your marriage or stable union certificate before applying for citizenship? I didn't do mine and realized before biometrics. I thought they would bring it up but they never did. Now I am seeing people on the diário site who were rejected amongst other reasons, for it and I am wondering if I should do something about it or wait for them first

No, I did not have to update our Marriage Certificate.  In every situation where I've had to provide proof of identity, the Marriage Certificate has been treated as THE fundamental document, and other documents have been required to conform to it.  This is probably because for native-born Brazilians, a Marriage Certificate effectively replaces the Birth Certificate for official purposes.  So if there's an error in your Marriage Certificate, you should try to have it corrected at the cartório where it was issued, if possible.  Otherwise, it's permanent.

I assume that the same is true for a Stable Union Certificate, but I've never had one, so I hope that someone who has can provide a more definitive response.

@abthree

Thank you for your reply.

Update doesn't mean you have an error you want to correct. From my research they ask for this done within 90 days before applying to prove that you are still together.

Here is how it's written on the site and it can be a joint statement which I also didn't do.

Comprovante de redução de prazo:

- Certidão de casamento atualizada ou escritura de união estável;

- Declaração conjunta de ambos os cônjuges ou companheiros, sob as penas da lei, a respeito da continuidade de efetiva união e convivência;

But since it was not an issue for you and a friend said he knows people who didn't do that either, I guess I am fine. The PF never mentioned it either.

For Naturalization, Please tell me that you take police clearance certificate from your home country or from your embassy in Brazil, like @alirkhorshid mention that he take from his embassy in Brazil and  Please tell me,  which documents, I need to translate in Portuguese.

@Janaan1

Yes that is one of the most important things to do. It was a very lengthy process in my country passing through various places. When it got to Brasil I then translated it.

@thelifeofeo

Which other documents i need to translate in Portuguese?

04/03/25 Which other documents i need to translate in Portuguese? - @Janaan1

Any official document from a foreign country in a foreign language with the exception of a passport requires an apostille from the country where it was issued (or legalization from the Brazilian Embassy there if the country is not a party to the Apostille Convention) and a Sworn Translation prepared by a Sworn Translator appointed by the Junta Comercial of a Brazilian state.

@abthree

So that means I have to translate in Portuguese my birth certificate. I think birth certificate is required for naturalization. If you know, can you please share a link that what kind of documents, I need for naturalization or translate in Portuguese.

You should not have to submit your Birth Certificate if you have a CRNM.  You'll find complete information here:

@abthree

I have RNM card until 2029 and I'm living in Brazil more than 5 year's. I gonna check the link, thanks for it.

@abthree

Do you know where I can find the link, state police and federal for Police clearance certificate. If you know please send me.

The clearances for naturalization have to come from the judicial authorities, not the police.

You can request the federal one here:

For your state one, search for "Tribunal de Justiça de (Name of State), and look on that site for "Certidões"

@abthree

Tribunal de justiça São Paulo when I enter and click on Certidão, show me 2 options 1. Certidões eproc 2. Certidões SAJ. Please tell me about this.

Every Tribunal de Justiça organizes its site differently.  You'll have to search through the various options and choose the one that you need.

@abthree

Thanks for info, I will do it.

@abthree

I guess I was being worried for no reason. I saw my name on Monday and applied for the CIN (Former RG) today.

I began September 27 2024 and finished the process April 7 2025.

Thank you.

Thank you. - @thelifeofeo

That's great news -- thanks for the update!

@Shahbaz Shaikh786
A friend said it's an error and that makes sense. The biometrics is an important part of the process. I guess it's a website error. I suggest you reach out to them. - @thelifeofeo

My process is completed today🥳🥳

In 4 months time the analysis MJSP got done.

So it is possible to put application 1 month before you complete your 1 year in Brazil and also it can get done without biometrics, as I guess they took it for me while CRNM.

@Shahbaz Shaikh786

congratulations. I am still waiting. It took almost 18months from application to biometrics. It’s been 3 months since biometrics and still sat in phase 3.

no visit, no nothing.
