Overview

No, there is no deadline. Consular birth registration can be done at any time in life, regardless of the age of the person who will be registered. In other words, even if the birth took place years ago, registration can still be requested from the competent Brazilian embassy or consulate.. However, there is an important condition: there cannot be a previous registration in Brazil, done at a notary's office. This is because Brazilian legislation prohibits the same person from having two birth records, duplication is illegal. Therefore, if the birth has already been registered at a registry office in Brazil, it will not be possible to carry out consular registration, and, upon reaching the age of majority, it will be necessary to carry out the judicial process to confirm Brazilian nationality. This procedure is especially relevant for children of Brazilians born abroad who wish to have their Brazilian nationality “by birth” formally recognized and obtain Brazilian documents, such as CPF, passport and identity card.
