Overview

The Federal Police once again warned of a serious budgetary risk: according to a letter sent to the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Planning, the corporation needs an additional R$97.5 million to keep the passport issuing service active. Without this financial reinforcement, the PF points out that service could be stopped, as 95% of the budget foreseen for this system has already been used. The Ministry of Justice, in turn, claims to be in dialogue with the government's economic area to make these resources viable, highlighting that issuing passports is an essential service for the population. This scenario is not unprecedented, the PF has already suspended the issuance of passports in 2017 and 2022 due to lack of funds, which fuels concerns about the continuity of service if the contribution is not released. Legal guidance can help clarify the applicable rules, the risks involved, and the next step that best fits your situation. moniquefadv
