What this document is
“Declaração, sob as penas da lei, de ausência de registro criminal no Brasil” is a template of Brazil’s Federal Police (PF). The declarant states, under penalty of law, that they are not and have never been the subject of a police inquiry or criminal case and have not been convicted in Brazil. The text mentions no period and no other countries.
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 it for converting the temporary residence of a neighbouring-country national (outside the Mercosur agreement) into permanent residence — together with criminal record certificates from the places of residence during the temporary residence; 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.
