Brazil | Issuance of Passports temporarily suspended; urgent appointments remain as an alternative
Summary
The Brazilian Federal Police has announced on 18 April 2024 (text available only in Portuguese) that the issuance of new passports will be suspended temporarily for purposes of its internal system maintenance. There is no estimated date for the system normalization.
The detail
The Brazilian Federal Police has announced on 18 April 2024 that the issuance of new passports will be suspended temporarily for purposes of its internal system maintenance.
Applicants who intend to travel abroad and whose flight is not taking place in the coming 30 calendar days are being recommended to wait until the system normalizes before being able to request their new passport.
If one’s travel is urgent and cannot wait that timeframe (30 calendar days), then the applicant can request an urgent passport appointment at the nearest Federal Police station.
In view of the recent announcement, our Brazilian Vialto Partners team remains available to take any queries from our clients and remains readily available either to advise or to assist in any urgent case.
