# Procuração for Brazil, signed in New Jersey

For bank matters, an inheritance or selling property in Brazil, a family member there usually needs a procuração from you. How you sign it here decides what they'll have to do there.

✓ New Jersey commissioned notary, no. 50244803, insured for errors and omissions. [See the credentials](/about/credentials)

## Two routes, different work in Brazil

| Route | What happens in Brazil |
| --- | --- |
| US notary + New Jersey apostille | The document needs a sworn translation (tradutor juramentado) and registration at a Registro de Títulos e Documentos office before use. ([TJSC rules](https://www.tjsc.jus.br/web/codigo-de-normas/extrajudicial/livro-iii/titulo-i/capitulo-vii/secao-ix-documento-estrangeiro)) |
| Brazilian consulate (procuração pública) | Exempt from translation and registration. For selling or buying property, Brazilian law generally calls for a public-form procuração, so this is usually the right route. |

Ask the cartório or lawyer in Brazil which route they'll accept before you sign.
