Example
Example: a British teacher and his Brazilian partner in Florianópolis, separate property
Daniel Hughes, British, and Camila Andrade, Brazilian (both fictitious), have lived together in Florianópolis since 1 June 2022 and want their union in writing, for instance for a health plan that takes a private declaration; they first check what the plan accepts. Everything they type is in Portuguese, because the declaration is.
- Daniel has an RNM, not an RG: his identity document is set to RNM (foreign resident’s card) and its number typed, and his CPF goes in as usual.
- Nationality, marital status and occupation are typed as they should read: britânico, solteiro, professor de inglês for Daniel; brasileira, solteira, arquiteta for Camila.
- Union began on 1 June 2022; property regime Separate property; both witnesses are friends who give their CPFs.
- The PDF ends with the city and date and four signature lines: the two partners, then the two witnesses, each with “CPF” and the number under the name.
| In the form | In the PDF |
|---|---|
| Daniel: name, britânico, solteiro, professor de inglês, RNM and its number, CPF, address | “Daniel Mark Hughes, britânico, solteiro, professor de inglês, portador(a) do RNM (Registro Nacional Migratório) nº …, inscrito(a) no CPF sob o nº …;” |
| Camila: the same, with her RG | “… brasileira, solteira, arquiteta, portador(a) do RG nº …, inscrito(a) no CPF sob o nº …” |
| Union began on: 2022-06-01 | “mantemos união estável desde 1º de junho de 2022, com convivência pública, contínua e duradoura…” |
| Property regime: Separate property | “separação total de bens: cada um conserva a propriedade e a administração exclusiva dos bens…” |
| City and date: Florianópolis, 2026-11-09 | “Florianópolis, 9 de novembro de 2026.” |
declaracao-de-uniao-estavel.pdf, on A4, with nothing of ours printed on it. All four sign it; if the plan asks for the signatures to be notarised (firma reconhecida), or for a public deed instead, that is done at a cartório.

Frequently asked questions
- Is a private declaration valid?
- Yes. A stable union exists in fact (Código Civil art. 1.723); the declaration signed by the couple and two witnesses is evidence of it. A notarial deed (escritura pública) carries more weight where one is asked for.
- Which property regime applies?
- Partial community unless the couple choose another in writing (art. 1.725).
- My partner is a foreigner without an RG. What goes in that box?
- Set the identity document to RNM or Passport and type its number: the line then reads “portador(a) do RNM (Registro Nacional Migratório) nº …” or “portador(a) do passaporte nº …”. With an RNM or a passport, an empty CPF is left out, for a partner who has none; with an RG, an empty CPF prints as a line to fill in by hand. An empty document number is left out of the line.
- What do I write for nationality and marital status?
- The Portuguese words, matching the person: britânico or britânica, americano or americana, canadense, brasileiro or brasileira; solteiro(a), divorciado(a), viúvo(a). The form does not translate anything: what you type is printed exactly as typed.
- Is what I type uploaded?
- No. The PDF is made in your browser and nothing you type leaves your device.
- Is this legal advice?
- No, it is a template.
