I lived in brazil for 2 years.聽 It was there where i met my girlfriend.聽 We are now planning on getting married in brazil in order for her to obtain a spousal visa anf live in the U.S.聽 I will be returning on a tourist visa again in the next couple months with the intention of marrying her.聽 But i heard i will need a document proving that i an single and able to get married.聽 I have found several companies that will provide one but they all cost several hundred dollars and i would rather not have to spend that much as i will not be working while im in brazil and will need all available funds in order to stay as long as the marriage will need.聽 Is there any other way of obtaining this document.聽 If so how do i do it and how much will it cost.聽 Thanks in advance.

If you were married before a divorce decree will do. If you have never been married then a written statement saying that you have never been married before will take care of it.聽 you can go to the cart贸rio and ask them what they require.

I suggest that you to the local Brazilian embassy or consulate and GET IN WRITING as to what you need.

If James Woodward is available (has the time or desire), PLEASE send your comments ASAP.

Have a GREAT day.

Hi,

About marry brazil women need single status certificate. Important things (criminal record,single status and birth certificate) all original聽 legalize your home country embassy of Brazil or consulate in US.

Maybe you try here any advocate, spend lot of money and waste of time. so better get this documents in your home country and will back marry here.

I have another idea no need legalize any documents. just try to get baby(born in Brazil) here with your girlfriend. It means you and your girlfriend get baby here. after that you will see easily聽 will get permanent visa here.just you will spend money fedral police 1500R$ only not much.

Best of luck.
