FAQ

What documents must a foreigner obtain to live legally in Brazil?

Every foreign national must have their legal status properly registered to reside in Brazil. The key documents are the CPF (Brazilian Taxpayer Identification Number), the RNM (National Migration Registration Card), and, in some cases, specific authorizations. Our law firm guides clients through each step, ensuring compliance with Brazilian law and preventing future legal complications.

How can a foreigner obtain a CPF and RNM in Brazil?

When buying, selling, or renting property in Brazil, foreigners must ensure that all documentation is correct and free of hidden risks. Our legal team conducts contract review, property title verification, due diligence, and registry filings, protecting clients against fraud and guaranteeing safe, transparent negotiations.

The CPF is essential for financial transactions, opening bank accounts, signing contracts, or renting property. The RNM serves as proof of legal residency status in the country. At Enne & Kurtz, we assist with document preparation, official filings before the Federal Revenue Service and Federal Police, and follow-up until final issuance — providing security, speed, and peace of mind.
