Hello there, I have residency in Brazil on the basis of união estável. I married my Brazilian partner last month in my home country where there is no Brazilian embassy. Marriage was religious and civil at the same time. Now we have our marriage certificate in hand with apostille from Foreign Affairs. We went to start recognition procedure at ERERIO http://www.itamaraty.gov.br/servicos-do … aty/ererio but they said they need to have Brazil representation abroad to certify it first.
Why is this? Could someone guide me please?
