Apostille Service and Fast and Reliable Assistance for Brazil ( or its embassies/consulates).
Brazil and the United States allow dual citizenship. Brazilian citizens who become naturalized U.S. citizens do not lose their original citizenship. It is mandatory to use a U.S. passport to enter/exit the U.S. and a Brazilian passport to enter/exit Brazil, so both must be valid.
Key aspects of Brazil-USA dual nationality:
Entry to Brazil: Brazilian citizens (born or naturalized) must enter Brazil with their valid Brazilian passport, even if they have a U.S. passport.
Entry to the U.S.: You must use your U.S. passport when entering and leaving the United States.
Retention of Nationality: Acquiring U.S. citizenship does not result in the loss of Brazilian nationality.
Renewal: If your Brazilian passport is expired, it must be renewed through Brazilian consulates in the U.S.
Benefits: Allows you to work, vote and reside in both countries without visa restrictions.
Note: It is recommended to carry both valid passports when traveling between both countries.
Key steps:
Obtain the certified copy: It must be a recent certified copy issued by the Civil Registry/Vital Records of the state where you were born.
Apostille in the U.S.: Request the apostille at the office of the Secretary of State of the issuing state.
Translation: Once apostilled, the document and the apostille must be translated into Portuguese by a certified translator.
U.S. federal documents require an apostille from the U.S. Department of State.

Certified translation
In addition to the apostille, the Brazilian government requires certified Portuguese translations of each document. These translations must match the legalized (apostilled) documents and are usually submitted along with the originals at the consular appointment.
We can put you in touch with certified Portuguese translators with experience in consular requirements, or offer you a complete package with apostilles and translations.
