Frequently asked questions

How do I get a Brazilian passport?
Brazilian citizenship is obtained by right of blood or land, adoption, marriage, descent, work for the government of the country, naturalisation or by a passport of a Portuguese-speaking country.

To obtain Brazilian citizenship by naturalisation, you must have lived in the country for at least 4 years, pass a language test, and have no criminal record.

The naturalisation process is reduced to 1 year: for a Brazilian citizen’s spouse, the parent of a Brazilian child, or a citizen of a Portuguese-speaking country.

No residence period is required in case of 10-year diplomatic mission service in Brazil, or of 5 years of marriage to a Brazilian diplomat.
Does Brazil recognise second citizenship?
Yes, Brazilian citizens can have multiple nationalities, as long as it does not contradict the laws of other countries.
Who can get Brazilian citizenship by birthright?
Brazilian citizenship can be obtained by right of blood if the child was born to citizens of the country. If the Brazilian parent is in another country, one will need to register with the Brazilian Embassy; or confirm one’s citizenship before a federal judge after returning to Brazil.

Citizenship by right of land can be obtained by any child born on the territory of the country. There's an exception if the child’s parents are employed by diplomatic missions or consulats.
