Brazilian passport 2026: how to get one, renew, cost and processing time
Getting or "renewing" a Brazilian passport in 2026 costs a R$257.25 fee (about US$45) and lands in your hands roughly 6 business days after your in-person appointment at the Federal Police — and "renewing" isn't really a thing: it's a brand-new issuance from scratch, same documents, same photo taken at the office. This guide walks through the step-by-step on gov.br, the required documents, the rules for minors, the emergency passport, and why so many countries only let you in with 6 months of validity left.

Travel documents in 2026: the definitive checklist, destination by destination
For a Brazilian passport holder in 2026, travel documents depend entirely on the destination: for Mercosur, a physical national ID in good condition (issued less than 10 years ago) is enough; for Europe/Schengen, a valid passport, €30,000 in travel insurance, and the new ETIAS (€20, from the last quarter of 2026); for the United Kingdom, a passport plus the ETA (£16, rising to £20 in April 2026); and for the United States, a passport with a B1/B2 visa (US$185 MRV fee) — because Brazil is not in the ESTA program. This checklist lays out, country by country, what's mandatory, what it costs, and when to start.
