Applying for an ordinary Brazilian passport in Brazil starts on the Federal Police passport portal. Check the documents for your circumstances, complete the official application, follow payment and appointment instructions and track collection. Avoid websites imitating the public service.
Check documents before completing the form
The Federal Police document checklist explains identification, Tax ID (CPF), electoral and military status where applicable, previous passports and specific situations. Name changes, birth abroad and applications for minors can require additional documentation.
Check that names and details are consistent. Resolve discrepancies before your appointment. For a child, examine authorization and attendance requirements; passport issuance and permission to travel are separate matters.
Fee and payment
When checked on October 11, 2026, the Federal Police FAQ lists the ordinary fee as R$ 257,25. Some situations incur additional charges. Generate payment instructions through the official channel, keep the receipt and verify current instructions before paying.
From application to collection
- Read requirements and prepare documents.
- Complete the form indicated on the official portal and check the information.
- Follow payment instructions and appointment availability.
- Attend with the requested documents.
- Track progress and collection instructions.
Timing depends on the office and circumstances. Do not book travel assuming delivery on a particular date. Present urgent needs to the Federal Police through the applicable procedure; an intermediary cannot guarantee priority.
A passport is not the entire travel checklist
A valid passport does not waive a visa, electronic authorization or other destination requirements. Another document may be accepted on certain routes, so verify the official rule rather than assuming every international flight requires a passport.
| Item | Check |
|---|---|
| Document | Destination validity rules and route conditions |
| Entry | Visa or authorization when applicable |
| Booking details | Name matches the document used |
| Copies | Protected files accessible offline |
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an intermediary?
You can apply through the official channel. Understand any private service and how it will handle your data before hiring it.
Does a phone copy replace the required document?
No. Copies help with organization and assistance after loss; do not treat them as substitutes.
Should I send my passport through messaging apps?
Share only when necessary, with a verified recipient and an appropriate channel. Protect files and device access.
