Brazil has eleven career consulates in the United States: New York, Boston, Miami, Orlando, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, Houston, Chicago, Atlanta and Hartford.
Each serves a published list of states, and that is where you request a passport, a power of attorney or a registration. The Embassy does not handle those services.
Two states are split by county: Florida, between Miami and Orlando, and California, between Los Angeles and San Francisco. And the official lists are not always up to date: the Los Angeles consulate moved to 6222 Wilshire Boulevard, and several Itamaraty pages still give the Beverly Hills address.
A lot does not go through the consulate. Americans travelling to Brazil apply for the e-Visa on VFS Global; the CPF is requested by email from the Receita Federal; voter registration is through TítuloNet; and the apostille on a US document comes from the Secretary of State.
There are also thirteen honorary consulates, such as Las Vegas, Denver and New Orleans, which give guidance but issue no passports and draw up no powers of attorney. For several of them the two official sources give different contact details, and we publish both. The Seattle and Philadelphia posts are vacant.
At every career consulate, service starts on e-Consular. Where each one's system is, and how to pay, is under appointments.
Lighter markers are honorary consulates with a published office address.

And the Embassy?
The Embassy of Brazil in Washington represents Brazil before the US Government. Services for citizens in Washington, D.C., belong to the Consulate General, in a different building on 15th Street.
