what matters is your criminal records under Brazilian Jurisdiction.听

Immigration officials don't听 they trade chips on misgivings, unless is a serious act of treason, or some heinous crime they actually would find听 on interpol's database.

I鈥檓 a Canadian citizen in Brasil getting married and wondering if my criminal record will get in the way of getting permanent residency here in Brasil听

If your case has been settled, whether by dismissal, acquittal, or fulfilling some penalty, it will probably not be a problem.听 A Brazilian's right to live with her/his spouse in Brazil carries a great deal of weight, and will overcome many other considerations.

Before I gained residency, I had to have an FBI check done that demonstrated my clear criminal history, Depending on your crime(s), you may or may not have a problem, but they do require a check. ANd I was legally married in both Brazil and the US at the time,.

Excellent point -- thanks for making it clear.听

A Criminal Background Check (from the FBI in the US) from any country where the applicant has lived during the preceding five years is an absolute听requirement, both for obtaining your visa at the Consulate and for applying for residency when you get to Brazil.听 Closed cases probably won't prevent the applicant from completing either process, but not having the Criminal Background Check certainly will.

Hey there sjpetzold, I have never seen anything in print that states that you must have an "FBI check done that demonstrated my clear criminal history". If you have a link or information on where I can read up on that, I would certainly appreciate learning more about that. Thanks

Again, none of this stuff matters.听

You are either in some Interpol database听 ( I-24/7 ) or not. If you are not, and all you committed were a misdemeanor, then your records听 won't show up here.听

Besides, it is the obligation of the host country to run your background check. You showing up with a FBI affidavit won't have any face value, and worse, it will raise suspicions upon you.

Brazil is a participant听 member of Interpol through their Policia Federal. You need to be known as a drug dealer, arms dealer, money launderer, terrorist, to be in their database. All they need to do is to key in your ID, name, and they will know what type of upstanding citizen you are.

04/03/22. Opinions concerning Interpol are largely irrelevant.

The Foreign Ministry requires听a criminal background check from the applicant's country of residence:听 听the FBI for US residents, the RCMP for Canadians, the equivalent agencies for other countries.听 听No official background check, no residence visa:听 it's that simple.听 The Federal Police has the same requirement for Authorizations for Residency,听 plus an apostille or legalization, and a Sworn Translation.听

Interpol may come into play in the cases of refugees or stateless people - Brazil probably isn't going to believe a Syrian or Afghan background check anyway听 - but most of those poor souls have been cleared beforehand by the UNHCR, with whom Brazil has an excellent relationship.听

Lol why you quote consulate听 in Miami here:)

OP is in Brazil and married to Brazilian, they will receive permanent residence here in Brazil without any consulate at all.

What I quoted are requirements听 for family reunification permanent residence. It says what it says.

Moreover it must be apostilled and translated. Translations are not obligatory only for Mercosul citizens.

I was not even rude, if was -please point out which part was rude I'm speaking听 many languages and Im not native speaker of English.

Making statements about personalities of people who you don't know and who didn't ask you to analyze them -this is what actually rude and I open you possibility to pardon yourself for that.

Did you apply for family reunification residence here in Brazil to PF with document in Islandic without apostille and trasnslation? Which office it was? That's too nice of them. because the specific law concerning this type of residence requires both.

Hello,

Good morning everyone.

As I went through the whole legalization process in S茫o Paulo, I will share what I know.

Americans ( I can not speak for other nationalities, sorry) who are in the process of getting their RNE need to do two things as far as criminal background checks go.

1. Get a criminal background check done by the Federal Police of Brazil. It is done right at the Policia Federal ( Federal Police building) where you are applying for you RNE, costs nothing and only takes a week or so. If you have never committed a crime in Brazil, don麓t worry about anything.

2. Get a Federal Criminal Background check from the United States. Brazil does not ask for or check the state Criminal Background check, only the Federal one. So, If you have something on your record from the state that you lived in like a DUI for example, it won麓t show up. You need to go on the US Federal Criminal Background website, fillout the application form for a self background check, pay the fee and give them a US address. They will NOT send the results to Brazil or via email, and ONLY to a US address. Once at the US address, you will have to have the person send it to you here in Brazil ( if you live here) and then you will need to take it to a tradutor juramentado ( An official, legal translator) who will translate, sign and seal the document juridically. If you live in the USA you might be able to do this there by going to a Brazilian tourism agency and asking where to find this service in the US. After doing this with the tradutor juramentado you will need to send the document to the Brazilian consulate who will officialize the document, sign the document and give it back to you once again. You need to do all these steps within the specific time period set out by the Federal Police. I believe my time period was 90 days. It was an absolute nightmare and very expensive.

If I can help with any further questions, I will try.

I see you mention that a local police background check would suffice for Temporary Residency application Visas..

Everywhere I've read states that it must be an FBI background check.

In my situation..听 On a local/state level my background check would reveal absolutely nothing.. On the Federal/FBI level it would reflect a felony (now fully completed) circa 2019.听 Obviously a drastic difference in approval likelihood.

Do you have government source content to affirm that the local check is sufficient?听 Even the consulate in Miami stated it must be an FBI background check current up to the last 90 days.

Some (not all) Brazilian Consulates permit local police background checks for some temporary visas.听 Miami doesn't list their requirements for the Digital Nomad visa on their site, but if they're telling you that you need the FBI Criminal Background Check for it, then you do.听 The best you can do is to obtain your FBI Criminal Background Check, determine exactly what it says, and, if it's negative, whether you have other documentation that the Consulate might accept as proof of rehabilitation.

I do not recall stating that anywhere. I had the FBI check done, for my own Vitem XI Family Reunification Visa, while I was in the USA. I filled out their forms online and paid their fee. Then, I made an appointment at one of the USPS biometric offices, there are two in Oregon. I drove to my appointment, checked in at the USPS counter, had the computer scans done, and the instant I paid my fee to them and the was done. Before I go to the exit door of the building, my cell phone buzzed notifying me that my FBI Background check had already been completed and was in my email. They mailed a hard copy to me, but my Consulate was happy with a copy of my email check. I actually had my Vitem XI back in my hands before I received the hard copy.听 I found the entire process to be quite straightforward and very fast.

Back in 2022 (post #11, above) you were quoting the Miami Consulate requirements for the VITEM XI (Family Unification) visa.听 Different visa, with different, and less stringent, requirements.听

It's important for people to understand the context, especially when looking at old posts.
