Brazil Federal Police Certificate

[Fetta 1]

Will the NVC accept the printed online version of the Federal Police certificate? If so, does the online version need to be notarized at the cartorio? The version printed online is different than the version obtained from going in person at the Federal Police.

Thanks for any help!!!

Hello,

About a week ago I had to make my request of my Criminal Records at the local Federal Police Station here where I live, I have read a few people saying that they had to notarize the non-online (regular) one, some others had no problem at all without notarization, so I ended up mailing the Rio de Janeiro Consulate and discovering the answer, on their email what they told me was:

"Bom dia,

Nao é necessario reconhecer firma ou validar o certificado emitido pela Polícia. Basta trazer o atestado no dia da entrevista. Aceitamos tambem os certificados emitidos pela internet.

Atenciosamente,"

Consular Communications Office

United States Consulate General

Rio de Janeiro - RJ - Brazil

So, what I did was just request another certificate online, and validate it online also, print both pages, and just to be sure, I'll be carrying this email with me in case of any problems.

Ps.: I'm applying for K1 Visa.
