Brazil: International Driver's License in Brazil:

Good News! You don't need a special driver's license in Brazil any longer. You don't even need to have your driver's license translated. Several years ago... you had to have your driver's license translated and "authenticated" by DETRAN. When I went to do that again, I was told no... all you need is your regular (valid) driver's license from your country and your Passport.

Brazil: what is the process after marrige:

Yes... i agree with mitico67... your question is not clear. I think what you are trying to do is a "family reunion" request for a permanent visa. This applies to both straight and gay "marriages." I just went through the process of applying. In addition to the document you got from the Cartorio, you will need a legalized and translated Police clearance letter (in the case of the US... from the FBI); a complete and legalized copy of your Passport with the first page translated; and several local documents that PROVE you are actually living together. One is a statement from yourselves giving a history of your relationship; another is a statement from two other people that they know you have lived together for more than 1 year; and the last are copies of the RG and CPF of your Brazilian partner. All of these documents must be authenticated by the appropriate Cartario. The process is not simple, as documents from your country must be legalized by the Consulate overseeing the district where the document originated. By the way... when I say translated... you have to use an official translator (there is a list) from here in Brazil. You cannot translate yourself or use non-official translators. Then, you send all the paperwork to MTE (labor department) in Brazilia. They will take about a year or so to analyze and react with your permanent visa. If you are "illegal" in Brazil at the time they issue the visa... you will have to travel to your home country to get the visa installed in your Passport. Then, when you return with the permanent visa, you can apply for your RNE at the Polícia Federal. I suggest you find the appropriate government website (sorry I no longer have that at my fingertips) that explains the entire process. I went to the local MTE office and got a document from them that explained all the parts.

Brazil: Moving, mid 20's into a condo, need VISA help, may or may not be working:

Brazil: Problems renting apartment:

A good explanation of the rental process is here: http://saopaulo.angloinfo.com/countries/brazil/re_rental.asp In smaller cities... you may find it harder to get a short-term rental. In most cases... you will have to settle for a short-term "flat" or a sympathetic expat. The paperwork for a flat is much simpler than for an apartment.
