Frequently asked questions
Can a Dutch death certificate be apostilled for Brazil?
A suitable Dutch civil-status record with a recognised municipal signature may be eligible for a Dutch apostille.
Should I request an extract or a full copy?
That depends on the Brazilian recipient and the details it needs. Confirm the required form before requesting the record.
Does the certificate need Portuguese translation?
It may. Confirm the required language, translator status and whether translation follows apostille.
Can the death certificate be requested from abroad?
Often it can, depending on the municipality, your eligibility, identification and any authorisation requirements.
Will the apostille prove inheritance rights?
No. An apostille authenticates origin and signature; it does not determine inheritance rights or the legal effect of the record.
Can acceptance in Brazil be guaranteed?
No. The Brazilian notary, registry, court, bank or authority makes the final acceptance decision.
