Hey James, not my brightest moment, I was arrested for a bar fight when i was younger with a misdemeanor assault but the charges were dropped. I have no conviction but there is an arrest record. Do i need to have it expunged before marriage and residency in brazil?

By the way James has pastways

When you apply for your RN/CIE you will asked to sign a declaration stating that you do not have a criminal record in brazil or abroad. you should go the the PF website to find out what other documents that you need,.

Does this information also go for residency?

The RNE/CIE is your residency.
