Can I Get a Divorce in Brazil While Living in the UK?
If you are a Brazilian citizen currently living in the UK and married in Brazil, you can get divorced remotely — and still ensure full legal validity in Brazil.
If it’s a mutual divorce with no minor children or contested assets, it can be handled through a power of attorney and resolved via a notary office. For complex or contested cases, you’ll need to file a lawsuit with a lawyer in Brazil.
Required documents:
- Marriage certificate
- Personal ID
- Specific power of attorney
- Any agreements or evidence (if applicable)
A lawyer in Brazil will ensure everything is done properly and is legally recognized for future purposes like passport updates or remarriage.
