Ordinary Naturalization and Getting Passport

12/03/25 Hello friends. I want to ask about the naturalization process. After the Federal Police and MJSP steps are checked and the name is published on the site, what are the other steps until getting a passport? - @alirkhorshid

After the name is published, the new citizen should take a copy of the DOU page showing the publication to the local Justiça Eleitoral, to register as a voter and request a Título de Eleitor.  The person at the Justiça Eleitoral will suggest other places to go:  the new citizen should go to them in the order suggested.  Males below a certain age will have to be excused from military service as part of this process, but this is just a formality.

One place that the Justiça Eleitoral may not suggest but the new citizen should go to very soon after being approved is the Receita Federal.  Many other agencies at the local, state, and federal levels rely on the Receita Federal's database, and it's important for the person's CPF record to be updated to show the new citizenship status.

One of those places will be the local municipal office, to obtain the Carteira de Identidade Nacional (CIN), the citizen's national ID card.  The application will be checked electronically against the CPF record, so fixing this at the Receita Federal beforehand may be necessary.

After the new citizen has his/her CIN and Título de Eleitor, s/he can apply for a Brazilian Passport at the Polícia Federal.

A new citizen can obtain a Certidão Positiva de Naturalização here:  https://www.gov.br/pt-br/servicos/obter … uralizacao

This is a good document to have on file, but should not be needed to complete the processes described above.
