Enforcing the foreign judgment
7.1
Once a declaration of enforceability has been granted, how can the foreign judgment be enforced?
Mozambique

Answer ... Once an exequatur decision has been granted and has become final, the foreign judgment may be subject to coercive execution through a different procedure or, if it has become valid as if it were a Mozambican decision, before Mozambican public entities (eg, a foreign divorce judgment involving a Mozambican citizen may, once an exequatur decision has been obtained, serve as grounds to amend the Civil Register).

7.2
Can the foreign judgment be enforced against third parties?
Mozambique

Answer ... Not directly, since enforcement may be sought only against those who are indicated as parties in the judgment. The sole exception concerns the successors of a deceased third party, whose status must be confirmed by filing valid documentary proof.
