08/03/23 Unrelated question: for both of these visas, if you apply from abroad, you have to buy a plane tick
The embassy's website states that upon registration at the PF, you must present the original birth certificate and a sworn translation of it.
Is that actually necessary? Ours are already in 4 languages, including English (plus French, German and Italian)….
If so, is that quite easy to find (a sworn translator)?

Good morning. It's annoying that Brazil requires birth certificates in addition to passports. I believe that the reason is the requirement for verified parents' names on Brazilian identity documents.
The requirement for Sworn Translations of all foreign language documents into Portuguese for official use is very old - 1916 - and not likely to change or be waived. Sworn Translations don't expire, so I always keep mine on file for possible future use.
