What you can settle without going to the consulate
- Fill in the minor’s travel authorisation, have the signature notarised locally and apostilled, with no consulate appointment.
- Take a loss or reacquisition of nationality request to the Ministry of Justice, which does not go through the consulate.
- Apply for a CPF to the Receita Federal by email, with the online form and a selfie holding your ID.
Before you go, check the consulate's page for its hours and how to request a service: each office publishes its own.
