Cie renewal at 10 years

Pahome 104

Some of the procedure has changed. You should go to the pf website and research. I will do the same.  I'm sure you will have to renew close to expiration date. As far as to address since you still own property there that might be good enough.

It looks like i have to go to pf to apply and i have to go to pick up.  It doesnt look like someone else can do that.  How long is that process?  I also read you should apply 90 days before as stated above but it didnt say how early/late you can do it.  For example, can i go 1 month before and stay 1 week and be done?

I think one month before it expires you are fine. I don't know how long it takes to receive the new one.

Last November, a new CIE took a month, from initial appointment to pickup of the completed card at the PF.  There will be new processes around the new replacement card, the CIM, and the fact that you're renewing an existing CIE should help speed the process some.
In your place, I would figure, for planning purposes now, worst case, that I'd need six weeks in Brazil, but call the PF 6-9 months before expiration to ask about the actual timing.  I've found the PF to be helpful with phone inquiries.

Hi.  I will also have to renew my Permanent Residence, not until 2023, though.  My question is:  Can you renew at a Consulate?  Or does one have to go to Policia Federal in your State of Residence?

From the process I went through in getting the original Perm. Residence, it was a pain & required a lot of translation (as English isn't too prevalent in my Brasilian state).  My Portuguese is pretty good, but I still need help from time to time.

As such, life would be a lot simpler if I could just do all of this at my Consulate, which is about 20 minutes from where I live.

Best Regards.

As far as I know you do it with PF.
