You're correct about your 'normally' disclaimer Tbird, but at my local cartorio, they have a declaration someone can sign stating so-and-so has lived at such-and-such address (the address of the signer), since a given date.

EDIT: The signer shows the cartorio a recent power, water, or phone bill, along with their ID, when they sign this declaration.

Depends on the situation.  The declaration I mentioned is often used, at least here in Floripa, when someone is renting out an apt. or house long term, and they don't want the renter to have the utilities placed in the renter's name (because it's supposedly easier then to evict the renter).  The owner collects the rent AND the assorted utilities each month.  The Manezinhos are notorious for this!  Yet people often need a 'comprovante de residencia' for many reasons, so this declaration exists.  YMMV....

I hope this works. Thanks.
I'm getting paranoid about all the things that can go wrong.
