The requirement

Brazil is open for business. One rule hasn't changed.

The Brazilian government's new Janela Única platform makes it easier than ever for foreigners to open a company in Brazil — fully online, from anywhere in the world.

But one requirement remains non-negotiable: every foreign individual holding equity in a Brazilian company must appoint a domiciled legal representative in Brazil with registered power of attorney.

Without it, your company registration is incomplete. Your CNPJ is at risk. Your investment is unprotected.

Brazilian Civil Code

"The foreign company... must have a permanent representative in Brazil, domiciled in the country, with powers to receive service of process and respond to administrative and judicial proceedings."

— Art. 1.134, Código Civil Brasileiro

Questions

Everything you need to know

Brazilian law (Civil Code, Art. 1.134) requires every foreign individual holding equity in a Brazilian company to appoint a locally domiciled representative with registered power of attorney. This person receives legal notices, responds to government agencies and courts on your behalf, and is essential for your company's CNPJ registration to remain valid.

No. The Janela Única of Investimentos (Brazil's new unified foreign investment platform) simplifies company registration and reduces bureaucracy — but the legal representative requirement is grounded in the Civil Code and remains fully in force. RepBR is the complement to the Janela Única, not a workaround.

After you sign up, we instantly generate a pre-filled power of attorney document in your name. You take this to your local notary for notarization (and apostille if your country is part of the Hague Convention, which covers most major nations). You then mail the original to our Brazil address. We handle the rest: registration, certification, and digital delivery of the registered PDF.

RepBR acts as a registered representative for legal and administrative notification purposes only. Our powers are strictly defined in the power of attorney document — limited to receiving service of process and responding to routine government inquiries. We do not have authority to execute contracts, transfer assets, or make business decisions on your behalf.

RepBR supports shareholders from all countries. We have pre-configured power of attorney templates for the most common nationalities (USA, UK, Germany, Portugal, China, Japan, UAE, Israel, Mexico, India, and more). If your country isn't listed, we prepare a custom template at no extra charge.

60 days before your annual renewal date, you'll receive an automated email. If your personal data hasn't changed, renewal is a single click — no new power of attorney needed. If your details changed (new passport, new address), we generate an updated template for you to notarize again.

Yes. You simply sign up, receive the new power of attorney, notarize and send it to us. Once registered, your previous representative is automatically superseded. We can advise on the transition process if needed.
