Marriage Registration

To register a marriage and have a marriage certificate, the Brazilian party must bring personally to the Embassy thepassports of both parties and the Statement of Marriage issued by an authority from the Provinces of Ontario (except Ottawa), Manitoba, British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Yukon, Northwest Territories and Nunavut. The Brazilian citizen must also bring his/her Brazilian ID card or birth certificate, stating name, place and date of birth and parents’ names.

If one of the parties has been previously married, it is necessary to bring to the Embassy proof of the legal dissolution of the previous marriage. This, in the case of a Brazilian citizen, means the divorce sentence homologated by the Supremo Tribunal Federal, in Brazil.

The Brazilian party must fill in a form provided by the Embassy and sign the Register books. Later, he/she must return to the Embassy to review the document and, if in agreement with its terms, sign and receive it.

The consular fee is CDN$ 36.00 in cash or money order payable to the Embassy of Brazil in Ottawa.

Only marriages held in the Provinces under the jurisdiction detailed above can be registered at the Embassy in Ottawa.
