Citizenship by Descent in Brazil

Your result

Likely

From what you have told us, your birth has already been recorded by Brazil — either at a consulate or transcribed into a Brazilian registry. That registration is the recognition. You are a Brazilian citizen by birth, and have been since the day you were born.

What is left is documentary. You need a current certified copy of that Brazilian birth record, a CPF number, and then a passport. If the registration was made at a consulate and never transcribed into a Brazilian registry, that transcription (traslado) is usually worth doing, because it is what Brazilian offices inside the country ask for.

Send us what you already hold and we will tell you which of the three is missing.
