Effective July, 2023 you will be able to apply for a CRBA electronically in Brazil. This new online feature allows U.S. citizen parents to complete a CRBA application online, upload all required documents, and submit payment prior to the in-person interview.

To be eligible to apply for a CRBA online, you MUST answer all the following criteria with YES.

• Was the child born in Brazil?
• Is the child under the age of 18?
• Was at least one parent a U.S. citizen or U.S. non-citizen national when the child was born?
• Can you use a credit/debit card or a direct payment method from a U.S. dollar denominated bank account (also known as “ACH”) to pay online for your Consular Report of Birth Abroad application?
• Are you a biological parent of a child born abroad who is applying for that child?

If any of the above statements do not apply to you, you MUST apply by completing a paper application (DS-2029).
