Federal Passport: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to obtain your Federal Passport in Brazil, including the current costs and important scheduling information.
The Federal Passport is the official identification document issued by the government that allows you to travel outside of the country.
Who it's for
This scheme is open to all citizens of Brazil. If you hold Brazilian citizenship, you are eligible to apply for this document to facilitate your international travel needs.
What you get
Upon successful application and processing, you receive a formal international travel document. This document serves as your primary identification when crossing borders and traveling to destinations outside of Brazil.
What it costs you
There is a cost associated with processing your application and issuing the document. You will need to pay the required fee in BRL to complete the process. Please check the official portal for the current amount.
The catch to know
The most important thing to keep in mind is the timeline for your appointment. While you can start the digital process relatively quickly, actually scheduling the required in-person appointment can take weeks. Because of this wait time, you should begin your application well in advance of any planned international trips to ensure your document arrives before you need to depart.
How to apply
- Navigate to the official government portal to begin your application.
- Complete the required digital forms with your personal information.
- Pay the required fee to move your application forward.
- Schedule your appointment through the system to visit the issuing authority in person.
- Attend your scheduled appointment to finalize the process.
