Overview

Yes. Children of a Brazilian father or mother, born abroad, have the right to recognition of Brazilian nationality by origin (jus sanguinis). To do this, it is possible to register your birth at any time at a Brazilian consulate, which formalizes your status as a Brazilian citizen. If it is not possible to register at the consulate, it is also possible to do so directly at a civil registry card in Brazil, through a judicial action that authorizes the registration. Furthermore, upon turning 18, the interested party must file a new judicial action to confirm their option for Brazilian nationality. This procedure guarantees full access to the rights and duties as a national citizen, and can be carried out in a clear and safe manner, complying with the requirements established by Brazilian legislation.
