e-Consular: how to request a service and book the consulate
e-Consular is Itamaraty's system for requesting consular services abroad.
According to the Consular Portal, it takes requests for passports, birth and marriage registration, powers of attorney, CPF, military service, certificates and minor travel authorisations, among others.
The part that confuses people most: the system does not offer dates straight away. You upload the documents first; only after validation does the option to book, or to mail, appear.
Each consulate in the United States has its own address in the system, such as ec-boston, ec-miami or ec-washington. Each consulate's page on this site carries the right link.
How it works, from sign-up to booking
The Atlanta consulate sums up the route: log in with a gov.br account (if you have a CPF) or with email and password, choose «new service», fill it in, attach the images and send it for validation. Then wait for the email that unlocks booking or mailing.
Review times vary by consulate, and some publish them: Washington says one to three business days, Miami up to ten business days, and New York's passport-by-mail page says the reply can take 5 to 30 days, depending on the service.
The account has to be yours
Washington and Atlanta warn that the account used for the request must be in the applicant's own name, or the parents' for minors.
Washington adds that agents, intermediaries and agencies have no link with the consulate, get no priority and cannot guarantee a place at a travelling consulate; a third party can only apply with a simple, specific power of attorney, using their own account.

- Legible images of every document
- The originals on the day or in the envelope
What goes wrong most often
The official pages repeat the same stumbles: the access-code email that lands in spam (Atlanta suggests checking the folder and, if it never arrives, signing up with another address), the dot in a Gmail address that some browsers drop (Washington), and illegible documents, which send the request back for correction.
And on the day of the visit, or in the envelope you mail, go the originals of everything you uploaded as images.
A request for someone else needs a simple, specific power of attorney, on the requester's own account.Details verified on 4 October 2026.
