Our certificate states the act was performed using communication technology, as New Jersey law requires. [What it must say](/notary/remote-online-notarization-certificate-wording)

Signing from outside the U.S.? We can notarize when the document is for a U.S. court or agency, involves U.S. property, or relates to a transaction connected with the U.S., and signing isn't prohibited where you are. [Check your document](/notary/abroad-check).

Documents for use in Brazil

## Apostille or remote notary?

Brazil has been in the Apostille Convention since 14 August 2016, according to Wikipedia's list of parties. That means a U.S. public document headed there usually carries an apostille, not an embassy legalization, though the office receiving it decides.

Signing from Brazil? A video session with us still needs a U.S. connection, such as U.S. property or a U.S. court or agency matter. See [apostille services](/notary/apostille-services) for documents going the other way.

Embassy option

## The U.S. embassy in Brasília

Brasília is the seat of the U.S. Embassy. The same list of missions adds consulates in Porto Alegre, Recife, Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo.

Whichever country you are in, the video session works the same way, described on [the hub page](/notary/us-citizens-abroad). [The State Department's page on notarial services](https://travel.state.gov/en/replace-certify/authenticate-documents/authentication-abroad.html) explains the consular side.

This is general information, not legal advice, and we do not know Brazil's local law, so ask the office that will receive your document what it accepts.

Looking for a particular document? See [notarizing a power of attorney, deed, affidavit or bank form from abroad](/notary/abroad-documents).
