i think the chances of any of us knowing Brazilian marriage/immigration law is pretty slim. I suggest u contact a lawyer there.

Hiya

Have you been on the Brasilian embassy website? There is a good document that states what you need to produce/do to get married in Brasil. http://www.brazil.org.uk/consulate/engl ... ge-faq.pdf

or if this link doesn't work go to brazil.org.uk and type in marriage in their search engine.

I believe you need to have the paperwork authenticated in the embassy in London before you go over (think cost is £12 per document) and then translated by a government approved translator (possibly once you are over there). But the embassy is really helpful.
