There are only three ways for getting permanent residency in Brazil which are basically the love, sex and money ways! The first is to get married to a Brazilian citizen, the second is to get a Brazilian citizen pregnant and the third is to invest R$150,000 into a Brazilian company. Here I'm documenting the marriage process which applies to me.
Marriage in Brazil requires a Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage which for New Zealand citizens an application for this certificate can be downloaded as PDF from here. This costs $122.60 and could take up to two months to arrive. Note that a Civil Union is a much easier process, but it is no good for the purpose of residency.
A current birth certificate must also be supplied. The form for requesting a new Zealand birth certificate can be downloaded as PDF from here. This costs NZ$31.50 including courier to a New Zealand address, and will take around a week to arrive.
Both certificates must then be authenticated in New Zealand for $65 and then notorised in the Brazilian consulate in Wellington for about $???. They must then be send to Brazil and officially translated and then notorised in an office called "Cartório de títulos e documentos" for R$???.
Note that there is a 90 day time limit starting from the date of the first certificate by which time the entire process must be completed. Since the birth certificate is much quicker than the No Impediment to Marriage certificate, it's best to wait until the latter one has arrived before requesting the former.
If you are unable to be present for the marriage you can assign a proxy to get married on your behalf which can be done in a Brazilian consulate - the proxy person doesn't need to be present for this. The marriage will require your passport or a notorised copy of you passport.
We got out NZ documents officially translated by Versão Brasileira who were very well priced and got the job done really quickly. They charged R$140 for translating both the No Impediment to Marriage and the birth certificate.
