Brazilian Naturalisation Hub. General information; confirm the current rules before acting.

Overview

The voluntary renunciation of Brazilian nationality, provided for in the Brazilian constitution and other legislation, occurs when a Brazilian, whether born or naturalized, expressly decides to give up his nationality, as long as he has another nationality, thus avoiding any risk of statelessness. The process takes place before the Ministry of Justice, accompanied by mandatory documents. After analysis, the result, whether favorable or not, is published in the Official Gazette of the Union, the date from which the applicant is considered a foreigner before the Brazilian State. The process applies to both adults and minors assisted by legal representatives. If the request is rejected, an appeal may be made to the competent authority. And, if they wish to reverse the decision, the former Brazilian national can request the reacquisition of nationality, as provided in the Constitution, allowing the return to the status of Brazilian citizen, a process that involves proof of previous loss and a specific request.
