Frequently asked questions

Can Dutch employment documents be used in Brazil?

Often yes, but the document usually needs to follow the route requested by the Brazilian receiving party. This may involve a signed employer document, apostille, Portuguese translation, courier handling or supporting documents.

Does a Dutch employment document for Brazil need an apostille?

In many Brazil-related document situations, a Dutch employment document may need an apostille before it is used abroad. The exact requirement depends on the recipient, document type and purpose of use.

Is a normal copy of the Dutch employer statement enough?

Not always. A Brazilian recipient may require a signed original, employer-issued document, apostille or Portuguese translation. The recipient instruction should be checked first.

Brazilian recipients may use broad wording. A Document Route Check can help identify whether they need an employer letter, contract, payslips, HR statement or a wider employment document set.

Portuguese translation may be required by the Brazilian lawyer, employer, cartório, bank, authority or institution. It is useful to confirm the order of apostille and translation before starting.

Can this be coordinated while I am outside the Netherlands?

Many parts can be coordinated remotely, depending on the document type, employer involved, identity requirements, whether a certified copy is needed and where the final document must be sent.
