What exactly is this power of attorney that every foreigner needs to have in Brazil?

TF inter · July 07, 2026

It's a document that gives someone in Brazil the authority to act on your behalf. Since you live abroad, you need a person here to sign papers, resolve pending matters, and receive official notices for you. Without this representative, many processes get stuck. The power of attorney states what this person can and cannot do. To be valid in Brazil, it usually needs an apostille (the international seal issued in your country) and a sworn translation here. TF inter helps prepare the right text, appoints who can be your representative, and advises on how to apostille and translate. This way your business between the Americas doesn't sit idle waiting for you to be physically present.
