What this document is
“Declaração … no Brasil e no exterior, nos últimos cinco anos anteriores à data de requerimento de autorização de residência” is a template of Brazil’s Federal Police (PF). The declarant states, under penalty of law, that they have no criminal record (antecedentes criminais) in Brazil or abroad for the five years before the residence application.
The form is in Portuguese, one page; at the bottom it warns about Article 299 of the Brazilian Penal Code (false statements in a document).
Who files it and where
- the foreign national signs the declaration personally; it is attached to the migration request to the PF with the other documents;
- the PF page lists this template for temporary residence of a national of a neighbouring country where the Mercosur residence agreement is not in force (Portaria Interministerial MJSP/MRE nº 19/2021), marked “dispensada para menores de 18 anos” — not required under 18;
- whether you need this exact wording is shown by the link in the document list of your procedure on the PF website.
What the form asks for
- full name, nationality and marital status;
- date and city of birth;
- father’s and mother’s names (filiação);
- city, state (UF) and date of signing; the signature is handwritten.
What to bring
- the signed declaration;
- your passport or other document used for the request;
- criminal record certificates (certidões de antecedentes criminais), if they are on the list for your basis;
- check the exact list on the PF page for your basis.
