First documents in Brazil
Certificate, passport, CPF, and residence
The package without which a child’s birth in Brazil means nothing: birth certificate at the cartório, international passport for the child at the Federal Police, CPF, and a submitted residency application r parents. Not one of the four agencies publishing prices does not sell this package as a separate line item — it is hidden inside large packages.
Who it suits. For those who gave birth themselves and came for the documents. For those already in Brazil and realised there was less time left than it seemed. And for those who only this piece of work is needed, not full end-to-end support.
What is included
- Birth certificate from the cartório
- Child’s international passport at the Federal Police
- CPF for the child and parents
- Preparing and filing a residency application for parents
- Support through to receiving the CRNM card
- ⚠️ Translations are accepted only from a sworn translator, registered in Brazil (tradutor juramentado). Documents translated and certified at home won’t be accepted here — the person finds this out usually finds out only on arrival.
- Government fees are paid directly to the authority and are not included in the price: processing of a residency application 168.13 reais, resident card CRNM 204.77 reais — together around $65. A CPF at Receita Federal is free.
- The provider is our partner in Brazil: a Brazilian legal entity with branches in Rio de Janeiro, Recife, and Florianópolis; real estate licenses in two states. His price is published as-is: we add nothing on top we do not add. Client management, document review, and communication with the contractor — that is on us.
What the package does not include
Paid separately and directly, with no markup from us.
- Cartório fee for the certificate
- Federal Police fee for passport and CRNM card
- Certified translations — priced per document, from $50 per document
- Guaranteed timelines: those are set by the authority
⚠️ The cartório will advise on timelines for issuing a birth certificate and passport and Federal Police, not us. We are responsible for ensuring the documents are submitted on the earliest possible date, not on the agency’s schedule.
⚠️ Translations are accepted only from a sworn translator, registered in Brazil (tradutor juramentado). Documents translated and certified at home won’t be accepted here — the person finds this out usually finds out only on arrival.

Prices are in US dollars: the Brazilian real fluctuates, and the entire expat maternity market quotes in dollars. Government fees are paid separately and directly to the authority: residence application processing 168.13 BRL and CRNM resident card 204.77 BRL — together approximately $65. CPF registration at Receita Federal is free. The maternity ward fee (shared room $2,400, private room $3,150) is billed separately everywhere except the ’Turnkey Birth’ and ’All-Inclusive’ tiers. Russian citizens do not need a visa: 90 days visa-free within each 180-day period. SVOY initial consultation — 100 $, credited in the cost of support. For Brazil, its main task — calendar: we count backwards from the expected due date and we tell you which week to fly and which day to apply documents to stay within the 90-day visa-free period.
Other points
Housing rental and purchase, documents, bank accounts and taxes, schooling, driving licence — 31 service in Brazil, each has its own price.
