Documents needing an apostille (Brazilian authorities):

• Certidão de antecedentes criminais issued by the Polícia Federal. The Brazil D9 checklist requires it with Apostila de Haia and issued within the last 30 days, and exempts applicants under 16. Where the applicant has lived more than a year in another country, the checklist requires the certificate from that country of residence instead of Brazil.
• The Brazil D9 checklist names the apostille only for the criminal record certificate. It does not attach an apostille requirement to the employment contract, the service-provision contract, the income evidence, the tax-residence document or the letter of intent, and Brazilian documents are already in Portuguese so no certified translation step applies to them. The termo de responsabilidade used under the CPLP route is the reverse case: it is signed in Portugal and needs assinatura reconhecida em notário em Portugal, not a Brazilian apostille.

Documents needing an apostille (Brazilian authorities):

• Certidao de Antecedentes Criminais from the Policia Federal. This is the only document the VFS Brazil D7 checklist explicitly ties to the apostille: 'Certificado de registo criminal emitido pela autoridade competente do pais de nacionalidade do requerente ou do pais em que resida ha mais de um ano, com Apostila de Haia (se aplicavel) ou legalizado.'
• A criminal record certificate from any other country where the applicant has lived for more than a year, apostilled or legalised in that country. The checklist makes the certificate follow residence, not only nationality.
• Certidoes de nascimento and casamento from the registro civil cartorio where a spouse or children are included in the family file. The D7 checklist itself does not list these, so treat this as the family-reunification standard rather than a D7 line item, and confirm with the post.
