police cert. Brazil

[kimo]

I am a bit confused on weather I need a federal police certificate or if I also will need a state certificate in Brazil.The Lawyer I am talking to also does not know this.So far the best price I have found for this in Brazil is 1000$

I am a bit nervous that he wants all money up front.

Someday I will use this as a very expensive piece of toilet paper.

Some people here have said they think I can get this from the Brazil consulate in China.Does anyone know if this is actually a fact?

All my research say's no.

Police Records

 

Certificates of Good Conduct (Atestados de Bons Antecedentes) related to possible violations of state law are available to persons 18 years of age and older from the Secretaria de Seguranca Publica in each of Brazil's states. Atestados related to possible violations of federal law are available to persons 18 years of age and older from any station (Delegacia) of the National Police (Policia Federal). Criminal records in Brazil are expunged five years after any sentence has been served.

 

Because each state maintains a separate database of violations of state law, a prospective immigrant must obtain a separate record from the Secretaria de Seguranca Publica of each state in which he or she has resided within the past five years. Additionally, a prospective immigrant must obtain a record from the Policia Federal, since state police records do not include violations of federal law.

 

For addresses or telephone numbers of Secretarias de Seguranca Publica and Delegacias de Policia Federal an applicant may contact the immigrant visa unit of the U.S. Consulate General in Rio de Janeiro or access the consulate¡¯s website at: http://www.embaixadaamericana.org.br . Federal Certificates are also available through the internet as are some State police certificates. If the applicant is residing outside Brazil, it is highly unlikely that he/she will get the Police certificate (only if he/she has someone with a power of attorney to apply on his/her behalf and if the applicant¡¯s Brazilian ID card was issued by the specific state from which the certificate is being requested).

So at least 2 reports, one from the state resided in, and another from the federal.

looks like you need a lawyer inside Brazil to get them.Assuming I read Dans post correctly.

possible violations of state law are available to persons over the age of 18

from the Secretaria de Seguranca Publica in each of Brazil's states (and the

Distrito Federal). Atestados related to possible violations of federal law

are available to persons over the age of 18 from any station (Delegacia) of

For addresses or telephone numbers of Secretarias de Seguranca Publica, an

applicant may call the immigrant visa unit of the U.S. Consular General in

Rio de Janeiro. If a state's Secretaria refuses to provide an Atestado to

an applicant, he or she may request the assistance of the Rio IV unit.

Nope, will need to deal with the Brazilian consulate or Embassy, but more than likely will need to work with someone that is in Brazil (Give them power of attorney, so that they can get the required certs in Brazil)

yes as I posted before they need to contact in Brazillian embassy in China, thats where she lives, then if necessary a lawyer in Brazil.

 

 

I am assuming she was there legally of course, then you should be able to get something from Brazil. If not ?

Yep, this is the conclusion I have come to as well.Apparently there are 2 kinds of POA one can be done via fed ex the other must be in person,which of course takes us back to the begining of the circle.
