The 1st step is always filing a police report with local authorities, done before any contact with the consulate.
The ARB (Authorization for Return to Brazil) is usually issued within 24 to 72 hours at posts with regular in-person service.
It's valid for just 1 route: a direct flight, or one with a technical stopover, to Brazil, never as an entry document for a third country.
A layover with a plane change in a country that requires a visa (the United States, the United Kingdom, and much of the British immigration process) usually results in denied boarding.
Having a digital copy of the passport's data page shortens the process from days to hours, because it eliminates the need for remote identity verification.
