The Consulate General of Miami will only legalize documents issued within its jurisdiction: Florida, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

The legalization can be done in two ways:

  1. Notarization

    The document must be notarized by a Notary Public that is registered at this Consulate General. If Notary Public is not registered at this office, the document must also be certified by the Secretary of State; or you can ask the notary to register at the Consulate.

    The fee for legalizing signatures is US 20.00 per signature (US Postal Service money order only)

Payment

This office will only accept "US Postal money order" (available at any US Postal Office branch), payable to Consulate General of Brazil. Do not send cash, either for fee or postage.


Documents by Mail

The Consulate General of Brazil will receive correspondence sent by the U.S. Postal Service as well as all courier services (address the envelope to the attention of the Legalization Section).

However, the Consulate will only return documents via the U.S. Postal Service, such as Priority or Express Mail. Applicants must therefore enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope for the return of their documents. The Consulate cannot be held responsible for lost or delayed mail.
