Document Management and Preparation

Based on the diagnosis, we prepare and organize all the necessary documentation for each process, whether it's applying for a CPF for a foreigner at the Receita Federal or validating the CNH at the DETRAN.

Questions about documents and adaptation for foreigners

Why is the CPF for foreigners so important?

The CPF for foreigners is essential for practically any act of civil life in Brazil, such as opening bank accounts, renting or buying real estate, signing service contracts (internet, telephone), and even to be included as a dependent in health plans.

Can a foreigner open a bank account in Brazil without a CPF?

No. Practically all financial institutions in Brazil require a CPF to open a current account, both for residents and non-residents.

Can I drive in Brazil with my foreign license?

Generally, you can drive for up to 180 days with your valid driver's license, accompanied by your passport. After this period, you need to obtain a foreign driver's license (either by transfer or a new process) in order to continue driving legally.

What is diploma revalidation and why would I need it?

This is the process of having a foreign university degree recognized by a Brazilian public university. It is a mandatory requirement for professionals in regulated fields (such as doctors, engineers, lawyers) to be able to practice their professions in Brazil.

How does school hunting work?

Our school hunting service includes presenting the best school options (national and international) based on the student's profile, scheduling visits and helping with the enrollment process, making the parents' decision easier.

What is the advantage of hiring Target for these services?

The advantage is time-saving and stress-free. Instead of your executive losing days of work trying to navigate the Brazilian bureaucracy, our team resolves everything quickly and efficiently, ensuring that he and his family can have a normal life as soon as possible.
