Overview
Yes. Children born abroad to a Brazilian father or mother are entitled to Brazilian nationality by descent (jus sanguinis). To formalise this status, their birth can be registered at any time at a Brazilian consulate, which grants official recognition of their citizenship. If consular registration is not possible, it is also permitted to carry out the registration directly at a public notary in Brazil, through a judicial action authorising it. Furthermore, upon reaching the age of 18, the individual must file a new judicial action to confirm their choice of Brazilian nationality. This process ensures full access to the rights and responsibilities of a Brazilian citizen and can be carried out clearly and securely, in accordance with Brazilian legal requirements. Legal guidance can help clarify the applicable rules, the risks involved, and the next step that fits your situation.
