Brazilian consulates in Louisiana
Louisiana belongs to Houston and has two honorary consulates that split the state by parish: New Orleans takes five parishes of the metro area and Baton Rouge the rest.
Brazil divides the United States among eleven career consulates, and Louisiana has one set office.
Which Brazilian consulate covers Louisiana?
According to Itamaraty's official list of offices, Louisiana belongs to the Consulate General of Brazil in Houston.
For local guidance there is the honorary consulate in Baton Rouge; documents stay with the career consulate.
Within the state there is the honorary office in New Orleans, which does not replace the consulate general.

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.
Before you go, check the consulate's page for its hours and how to request a service: each office publishes its own.
