DOCUMENTS

Brazil does not require shipping Documents to be legalized.

Any other document requiring legalization will be processed through the Embassy. In order for the document to be recognized by the Embassy it needs to be an original U.S. Government issued document or would need to be certified by the U.S. State Department. As part of our service, we can take your Documents to the U.S. State Department and also advise you on their exact requirements before they will place their seal.
PROCEDURE

Please complete the attached order form and send along with your document to WCS. In order to obtain legalization, WCS will need the original document. This should be a signed, notarized or a State issued Document.

The Legalization process at the Embassy usually takes about 3 business days.

Customers should include their own return airway bill issued by DHL, UPS or FedEx with the document, along with a check or credit card information for payment of legalization fees. For individual orders please complete your credit card number on the form.
