BIRTH REGISTRATION

Before requesting a Birth Registration, we kindly ask you to consider all the instructions below. To ensure that the application is processed without delay, Brazilian citizens applying for a Birth Registration for themselves, a newborn, or a child, must consider all of the following important information:

To request a Birth Registration, according to Brazilian law, the Registrant's name must be complete on the original Birth Certificate issued in Qatar. That would mean: containing the name and surname(s) of at least one of the parents. Birth certificates issued in Qatar with only the Registrant's first name must be rectified with the local authorities.

According to Law nº 14.534/23, the CPF (Cadastro de Pessoa Física) is mandatory to identify Brazilian citizens in government databases. As a result, the CPF number is required to provide public services - including consular services. We will issue the CPF for the Registrant along with the Birth Registration. There is no need to initiate a separate CPF request for the Registrant.

The passport can only be requested after the Birth Registration and CPF are collected by the applicant.

Only the Brazilian parent can collect the Birth Certificate for a minor

HOW TO REQUEST

Send the request, along with the necessary documents, to consular.doha@itamaraty.gov.br

The Consular Section will review the documentation, issue a draft of the Birth Registration and send it to the applicant. Once the draft is approved by the applicant, the collection will be scheduled.
