Brazilian passport (Portuguese: Passaporte brasileiro) is the official document for foreign travel issued by the federal government, through the Federal Police.
A new model was officially introduced in July 2015 that complies with both Mercosul and ICAO standards, and bring a new biometric cryptography method, and replaces the last model, from 2010. The new passport is valid for 10 years.
As a general rule, Brazilian passports are valid for ten years from the date of issue.[2] They cannot be renewed: a new passport must be obtained when the previous one has expired or a minimum validity period is required by the country to be visited. If a passport is lost, the replacement will be valid only for 5 or 4 years from the date of issuance. If lost and replaced again the validity of the same is 2 years.
Brazilian passports can be ordered by mail only if is a renewal. The first issuance of a passport must be done in person at the Brazilian consulate that has jurisdiction over the person's residence in a foreign country. The instructions say that whether applying for a "new" passport or a "renewal", the same application is used.[3]
Brazilian citizens do not need a passport when traveling to most other South American countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay, Venezuela). For these countries, they may use just their domestic identification cards.[4]
Prior to July 2015, the Federal Police Department issued passports valid for five years, but now passports are only issued with five years of validity if it is a replacement for a lost passport.[2] It was extended from five to ten years.
