Video course and club: “Citizenship A to Z”
700 $
11 modules, 100 video lessons, 16 hours, templates and checklists, a vetted contacts database — translators, notaries, doctors, lawyers, step-by-step guides for non-standard situations; lifetime access with updates. Free for Basic and All-Inclusive tier clients.
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 toward the cost support. All services and packages in Brazil
How it works in Brazil
A birth certificate is issued by the cartório — the notarial registry at the place of birth. The child’s international passport is issued by the Federal Police, tax number CPF — Receita Federal, and it is free of charge. Only translations by a tradutor juramentado — a sworn interpreter registered in Brazil.
What we need from you to get started
- Birth certificate from the maternity hospital (declaração de nascido vivo)
- Passports of both parents
- CPF of parents
- Marriage certificate, if applicable, with apostille and translation
Where things most often go wrong
- —Translation and certification were done back home — they will not be accepted here
- —They delayed getting the certificate and ran into the end of their visa-free period
- —Didn’t obtain a CPF in advance: without it you can’t open an account or connect connectivity and to sign a rental agreement
CPF costs nothing: it is free at Receita Federal and seven reais through the post office or consulate. We charge for assistance and scheduling, and not for the number itself, and we say so plainly.
Fees, processing times, and institutional requirements change several times per year, which is why they are not listed here: we verify and quote them as of the date of submission.
