Sending documents from South Africa to Brazil
The South African exit is the easy part: with the DIRCO apostille done, couriers via Johannesburg cross the South Atlantic in 4-7 days, and the English sworn translation closes cheap in Brazil. After the vault, everything is relief.
The ritual
DIRCO (or High Court) → scanner → courier (DHL/FedEx via JNB). SAPO registered as the patient alternative. The standard declaration and envelope.
If it gets lost
Replacement repeats the vault — the nightmare. Duplicate copies requested TOGETHER (the vault issues multiples in the same cycle) are the corridor's most important insurance policy.
