When this is relevant in Brazil

A Dutch diploma or academic record may be requested in Brazil for study admission, professional recognition, employment, licensing, immigration or internal compliance.

✓Brazilian university admission, course transfer, diploma recognition or academic administration
✓Employment, professional council, licensing, immigration or qualification procedures in Brazil
✓Situations where apostille, Portuguese translation, verification or original-document handling may be required

Start with the Brazilian requirement

Brazil-related education requests can be more specific than simply asking for “a diploma”. A recipient may require a degree certificate, diploma supplement, transcript, sworn Portuguese translation, apostille or a document issued or confirmed by the school, university, DUO or another Dutch education body.

✓The Brazilian recipient may require a specific education document rather than the diploma itself
✓Some education documents may need verification or certification before apostille
✓Portuguese translation should usually be checked after the apostille route is clear

Common diploma situations in Brazil

How the process works

The exact Brazilian checklist, email or institution instruction is usually the best starting point.

1

Share the Brazil request

Send the university checklist, employer request, licensing instruction, immigration requirement or message from the Brazilian recipient.

2

Review the Dutch route

The situation is reviewed to identify whether verification, certification, apostille, translation, courier handling or additional documents may be needed.

3

Confirm handling

Any handling fee, issuing-body fee, apostille step, verification step, translation step or courier option is confirmed before work begins.

4

Coordinate next steps

Apostille Assist coordinates the agreed route and keeps communication clear while the document is prepared for Brazil.

What information helps?

The most useful information is the exact Brazilian instruction. A checklist, email, university page, employer message, professional council requirement or immigration instruction can help determine the correct Dutch-side route.

✓The Brazilian university, employer, professional body, lawyer, authority or organisation requesting the document
✓Whether the original diploma, transcript, certified copy or institution-issued statement is requested
✓Any deadline, portal upload requirement, translation request, apostille requirement or courier destination

Avoid the wrong document route

Education document requests can depend on the issuing institution, whether the original or a copy is accepted, and whether a Brazilian recipient expects apostille before Portuguese translation.

✓Check whether the document must come from the university, DUO or another Dutch source
✓Check whether verification or certification is needed before apostille
✓Check the order of apostille, translation and courier handling before paying for steps
