Brazilian Police Records for NVC and Interview

[000 0]

Hello, me and my wife are trying to get ready for NVC processing in the hopes that in the next 1-3 months our I 130 will be approved. While looking at the required documents that go along with the DS 230 it says original or certified copies of certain forms, police records included. Her father works at a local police station so her records for her current place of residence in Brazil should not be a problem, but she did live in another state for a year or so . From what we understand , the police in Palmas, TO will not send police records, they require you to go to the state to get them. There is a way to look at your record online however it is not certified by any means , does it count as an original? Is there any way around her having to go to Palmas to request a record then have to go back in 2 weeks to get it?

Does she know anyone in Palmas? I didn't want to wait in Curitiba, so I had my Godmother picking it up for me and sending it to me. If she can go and request and then go back and get it is not a problem at all, except the travel and money, but when they have it ready it'll be there waiting for her.

Don't go for the online one.

Thanks for the information. We wanted to avoid having to pay for the hotel and air fare to go there, but as it turns out she has a "cousin" that lives there so she can do a power of attorney for them to get it for her. Brazil is a wonderful and beautiful place where no matter what people have or dont have they are happy, but for goverment issues and and overall convenience in obtaining certain things wow it is a pain. Well thats what i say she says that america is the slow one or else she would be here by now rsrsrsrsrsrsrsrs

If I'm reading this write then not only do you have to go to the Federal police to request the document but then you have to go back to pick it up? They don't send it in the mail or anything?

São Paulo is the only state where you can obtain the certificate online.

Elsewhere, as far as I know, yes, you need to go in person or with a power of attorney and then go back to pick it up, nothing it sent by mail.

My fiancee mentioned her family knows someone with the federal police so she would only have to make one trip. Either that, or the turnaround is so quick that she can show up the same day to show her credentials and get the report.
