Brazilian arrivals have lifted Portuguese numbers across Ireland since 2016, and Carlow's community reflects that growth. Brazilian documents are non-EU, so a certidão used for marriage notification may need an apostille, while diplomas for SETU or QQI need full translation. Portuguese citizens may sometimes rely on EU multilingual forms instead. Carlow requests often involve study, Child Benefit and new family records.

Sentença de guarda
A parent in Carlow applying for guardianship or access may rely on a Brazilian court ruling on guarda. We translate the sentença and the certidão de trânsito em julgado showing it is final, and your solicitor will advise how the affidavit should be handled.
Brazilian institutions increasingly issue documents as PDFs signed digitally through the ICP-Brasil system. Send us the PDF itself rather than a photo of a printout, so the signature details are visible, and keep the original file in case SETU, a Carlow employer or another Irish body wants to verify it. Documents for a registrar may still need an apostille from Brazil.
