An American marrying a Brazilian woman

14 years ago

I have been dating a Brazilian woman for 8 or 9 years here in São Paulo. We have decided to get married.

We are both divorced and went to the cartório and they said OK, but it might be easier to marry at the U.S. Consulate in São Paulo.

I have been to their website to get information, but I just am not seeing anything of use.

We, at least for the time being intend to stay in São Paulo, but may move to the U.S. in the future.

Can someone point me in the right direction to get a civil marriage (as simply as possible) that will be legal? The Brazilian civil Marriage seems complicated as "all getout" (like any paperwork here).

Thank you for any suggestions.
