If you live in Brasil and would like to become Brazilian, we help you understand when you can apply, which documents to gather and how naturalization works.
We start with your residence history to see whether you are ready to apply. Ordinary naturalization considers your residence type and length of stay, legal capacity, communication in Portuguese and criminal-record requirements. Our legal partner checks which category fits your situation and whether you qualify for a shorter residence period.
Tell us how long you have lived in Brasil, which residence permissions you have held, any time spent abroad and whether you have Brazilian family members. We then explain how to show your residence history and Portuguese ability. You keep your original documents and do not need to share your gov.br password.
We review ordinary naturalization and, where relevant, other categories for long-term residents. We check your residence history, the applicable period and any grounds for a reduction. Having a Brazilian spouse or child may affect the requirements, but does not automatically grant nationality.
A person who settled in Brasil as a child, or already holds provisional naturalization, may need a different procedure. We check the age at arrival, residence records and applicable deadlines. Children of Brazilians born abroad also need a separate nationality review.
We organize your residence card, civil records, criminal-record certificates and evidence of residence for the required period. We review time spent abroad and any documents supporting a shorter qualifying period, checking names, dates, validity and translation requirements.
For the applicable category, we check how you can demonstrate communication in Portuguese. Celpe-Bras is one accepted form of evidence; other documents may qualify under the official rules. We review what you already have and identify what is missing before submission through Naturalizar-se.
We check which naturalization category applies to you, how much of your residence can count and what you still need to sort out before applying.
With our legal partner, we prepare the checklist and review your documents, including proof of residence, civil records, certificates and evidence of Portuguese ability required for your case.
As part of the agreed service, we help prepare your application and explain the Federal Police stage. You attend appointments that require your presence and keep control of your account.
During the support period, we keep you informed about notifications and requests for further documents. When the decision is published, we explain the outcome and the next steps.
When naturalization is granted, we help you locate the official act, check your personal details and plan the next document requests. This includes guidance on proof of naturalization, Brazilian identity documents and the applicable electoral registration. Each document has its own issuing authority.
During the process, we help prepare responses to requests for additional documents and track the response deadlines. If the application is refused, we review the reasons with the legal professional and explain the available next steps. Any appeal work and further proceedings are defined in the proposal.
You can find more detail on the official websites below. We checked these sources on 22 September 2026 and review the requirements for your situation before we begin.
Before you decide, you receive a proposal explaining what we will do, who will help at each stage and how long the support lasts. We list our fees separately from official charges, translations, certificates and travel expenses. If you need additional help, we agree the price with you first. Processing times and decisions remain with the responsible authorities.
During your consultation, we review your plans and explain the recommended support. You receive a written proposal with the services, professionals involved, fees and follow-up period before you decide.
