How to collect an already-issued document in Sri Lanka
The Sri Lankan collection hands over the PAIR — certificate + official translation — checked together: the names in the right spellings on both pieces. The Colombo series (MFA + Brazilian legalisation) proceeds with both.
The rite
ID/power of attorney + receipt; the pair's check — a divergence between certificate and official translation is corrected at the department, not later.
The Colombo series
MFA (Consular Affairs) → Brazilian embassy → courier. Links of days-weeks at the island's pace.
Frequently asked questions
The Brazilian embassy in Colombo?+
It serves by appointment — the corridor's final link.
Do transliterated Sinhala spellings vary?+
Yes — the official translation anchors the Latin one; the note in the sworn translation ties passport variants together.
