What are the most common mistakes when renewing a Passport?

Yes, it is very simple to renew a passport! But there are some mistakes that always happen and need special attention.



It is very important to be aware of the expiry date of your passport before planning an international trip. It is necessary for it to be presented in most other countries, except the Mercosur countries, where you will only need to present your Identity Card (RG).


For those over 18, the validity of the passport has increased from 5 years to 10 years, so it must be renewed during this period.


There are some mistakes made when renewing that end up delaying the issuance of your Passport and we will list them to help you avoid unforeseen circumstances.




The Consulate


Before going to the Brazilian Consulate, you need to verify the information.


If you do not verify the information, you will go to the Consulate without an appointment, which is mandatory to get face-to-face service. Another issue to be observed is that in some cases, the renewal can only be done via mail.


Application delivery receipt


Many people go to the Brazilian Consulate to renew their passport, but they do not have the application delivery receipt in hand. This is a mandatory form completed online and must be printed to be presented at the time of passport renewal. It is worth noting that many people confuse this document with the Appointment Scheduling at the Consulate, which are totally different things.


Form of payment


The only payment method accepted by Brazilian Consulates for issuing and renewing passports is MONEY ORDER. So, get organized for it.
