Brazilian consulates in Minnesota
In Minnesota, the question is not where the nearest consulate is, but which one is competent.
Which Brazilian consulate covers Minnesota?
Minnesota falls under the Consulate General of Brazil in Chicago, with no split by county.
For local guidance there is the honorary consulate in Minneapolis; documents stay with the career consulate.

What you can settle without going to the consulate
- Apply for an American companion’s e-Visa on the VFS Global platform: the consulate does not take that application.
- Issue the Brazilian criminal record certificate on the Federal Police website, without the consulate.
- Do the INSS proof of life by biometrics in the Meu INSS and gov.br apps.
Before you go, check the consulate's page for its hours and how to request a service: each office publishes its own.
