You cannot register an overseas ceremony at a register office. However, you can apply to have your documents sent from the relevant country and deposited with the General Register Office (GRO). You can then get copies of your marriage or civil partnership record more easily.

Send to the Consulate in Rio de Janeiro:

1. The original Brazilian Marriage Certificate
2. The translation of the Marriage Certificate preferably done at a sworn translator
3. A copy of the passport from 1 partner only
4. Fee: £ 36.00 (exchange rate from Consular at 3,40).
