Brazilian Naturalisation Hub. General information; confirm the current rules before acting.

Overview

Foreigners may apply for a Brazilian passport under specific circumstances outlined in the Brazilian legislation. These circumstances include cases such as stateless individuals or those with undefined nationality, asylum seekers or refugees recognized by the Brazilian government, nationals of countries without representation in Brazil, individuals without any form of identification or travel document, and foreigners legally registered in Brazil who need to leave and re-enter the country but lack travel documentation. In such cases, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is typically consulted before issuing a passport to the foreign applicant. On the other hand, if you wish to become a Brazilian citizen you may go through a specific legal procedure for it. Legal guidance can help clarify the applicable rules, the risks involved, and the next step that best fits your situation.
