Brazil requirements
What Indian documents need for Brazil
Short answer: Brazil is a member of the Hague Apostille Convention (member since 14 August 2016). Indian documents for Brazil need state attestation and then an MEA apostille. No embassy attestation is needed. Brazil usually requires a sworn translation (tradução juramentada) done in Brazil.
Brazil joined the Apostille Convention in August 2016. An MEA apostille is now enough on the Indian side, but Brazilian authorities usually want a sworn translation made in Brazil.
