In late July 2026, the Public Defender's Office of Roraima announced the third edition of its free collective wedding program for migrant and refugee couples, offering 120 slots with a reserve list and scheduling the ceremony for 23 October. The initiative aims to remove civil‑status barriers for migrants in Boa Vista.

A few days later, in early August 2026, the civil registry in Feijó, Acre, opened registrations for a similar free collective wedding organized by the state tribunal. The event, limited to 100 couples, accepted applications until 21 August and held the ceremony on 28 August, alongside other free public services such as identity documents and legal advice. Both programs reflect a broader trend of Brazilian state authorities providing free marriage services to support vulnerable populations.
