The 6 Golden Documents You Need to Survive in Brazil
What if I told you that there are 6 documents that will get you access to most anything in Brazil?
This is everything from the start to finish: applying for a visa, buying a house, opening a bank account, getting Internet – you name it and these documents will pretty much cover them all!
Well, I’m going to tell you what they are and how you too can get your own “Golden 6”.
Here they are:
- Translated Drivers License
- Translated Birth Certificate
- Translated Police Record
- CPF
- Proof of Residence
- Federal Police proof of ID
Before I knew about “The Golden 6”, I ran into problems at every corner when trying to get things done…
Like when I tried to get a 3G mobile Internet plan: “I’m sorry sir, but you can’t get a phone plan as we need your proof of residence”
Or when I tried to buy a wardrobe: “You cannot buy this unless you get a friend to give me his CPF number…”
Or when applying for my visa: “We need a translated police record before you can apply”.
And the examples keep coming…
I call these “The Golden 6” because with them, life becomes much easier in Brazil.
Allow me to explain exactly what these documents can be used for, why you need them and how to get them…
