Document Checklist for Prenuptial Agreement and Public Deed of Stable Union
FAQ
Which documents do you need to present at the notary office for a prenuptial agreement and for a stable union?
For both acts, you present an official photo ID with CPF, updated proof of residence, and a birth certificate or marriage certificate with divorce annotation issued less than 90 days prior. For a prenuptial agreement involving asset division or specific rules regarding existing real estate, you must present the property record certificate (certidão de matrícula) from the Real Estate Registry.
What is the difference between a prenuptial agreement and a public deed of stable union?
A prenuptial agreement (pacto antenupcial) is a conditional public deed that establishes the property regime for a future marriage and only produces effects upon the marriage ceremony at the Civil Registry of Natural Persons. A deed of stable union formalizes the public, continuous, and lasting cohabitation of a family entity, establishing the property regime with immediate effect between cohabitants.
