What documents required for apply Citizenship of Brazil on the base of completed One year residency married.

If your married to a Brazilian and have been living here, you should have all the required documents. If your planning to marry a Brazilian then that's another question.

As of January 30, 2018, the following documents are required (list in Portuguese, to avoid translation errors):

Documentação em comum para todos os casos
--Requerimento devidamente assinado pelo naturalizando;

The Federal Police may be willing to waive some of these documents; you can determine this at your first interview.  You will probably need to take a Portuguese proficiency test.

Everything I've read about this process suggests that it's quite time consuming.  I'll be starting it myself in November, and post about it then.

Good luck!

I did this, but just before the Mandatory Portuguese test, it's an easy Process, just one or two documents that are more tricky to get like the criminal records checks apostilled in country of Origin and a trip to your consulate to get the name conformation document - A paper to say you are who you are  :lol: Typical Brazilian thingThe biggest deal now is the Celp Bras Portuguese Cert which is only written a few times a year - Mission   :sosad:

Pay the fees and lug the whole lot to the estrangeiros branch of your Local Federal Police
Get the home visit after about a month , just a quick check to see if your story is Legit and you have an actual address :cheers:

Wait 9 Months . keep checking the system , it should advise you there if you were successful.  :one

After this no one really tells you what to do next :unsure
But you have to manually search for your name /RNE on google until you find it published in the Portaria - Search yourself, no one actually bothers to notify you and they never updated the final order on the system in my case so I waited 5 months like a fool and it was already finished.
PRINT THE PORTARIA PAGE you will need it   :/

I'll do a full post about what actually happens next when I'm in the mood heh heh
