You won. But in Brazil, you lost.

The STJ holds the only key.

Without STJ homologation, your foreign judgment is legally invisible inside Brazil. No lower court, notary, or agreement can bypass this.

Tip: Ensure your judgment is final (no appeals pending) and doesn't violate Brazilian public policy. Gambling debts or punitive damages often fail.

Without homologation, you have nothing in Brazil.

Final & unappealable|No public policy violation|Filed exclusively with STJ

After STJ approval, your ruling becomes an enforceable Brazilian court order. Only then can you seize assets and collect.
