Brazilian consulates in Florida
Florida has two consulates general: Miami serves seventeen southern counties and Orlando the other fifty. The split does not follow distance: Tampa belongs to Orlando, and Sarasota, just south of it, to Miami.
For a Brazilian consular service in Florida, the published jurisdiction counts, even if there is an honorary consulate nearer.

What you can settle without going to the consulate
- Apply for a CPF to the Receita Federal by email, with the online form and a selfie holding your ID.
- Register, transfer or fix your voter registration on the TSE’s TÃtuloNet, without the consulate.
- Apply for an American companion’s e-Visa on the VFS Global platform: the consulate does not take that application.
With the consulate identified, the next step is the request in the system, explained on its page.
