My application is ready to submit, but I have one more question.
I'll apply outland and my visa office is Sao Paulo. I'm divorced and in Brazil, once you get married, the registry take your birth certificate and the marriage certificate will be the one valid instead. If you are divorced, the divorce certificate will be valid instead of both birth and marriage certificate.
I only have my divorce certificate and am submitting it with the application together with a certified translation. The divorce certificate has date of birth, full name, parents, place and country of birth. Do I still need a birth certificate? It will be very hard to get one because as I said, the Brazilian notory took mine once I got married.
Here is what Latin America checklist says:
IDENTITY AND CIVIL STATUS DOCUMENTS
For issuing authorities in Belize, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala,
Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua and Panama, see table at the end of this appendix.
Provide photocopies of the following document confirming the relationship between you and each of
your family members:
• Birth certificates and/or baptismal certificates.
• Marriage certificates, if applicable. (If you were married in Chile, submit a copy of computer
printed marriage certificate issued by the civil registry).
• Divorce certificates. If you are now divorced, copy of final divorce certificates; if separated, a
separation certificate.
• Death certificates if your or your sponsor's former spouse or common-law partner are deceased.
• Marriage annulment certificate, if your marriage was annulled.
• Citizenship Certificate, Permanent Resident Card or Immigrant Visa for any family members who
are Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada.
• Evidence of common-law relationship, if you and your sponsor have been in a common-law
relationship.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks.
