How to Renew a Brazilian Passport

For the U.S. citizen traveling to Brazil a U.S. passport is required for short-term stays and a visa for longer-term visits. A Brazilian citizen traveling either abroad or back to Brazil will need a current Brazilian passport. Renewing yours doesn't have to be hard, and can be as easy as visiting or contacting the Brazilian Consular office nearest you.
