Itinerant Consulates
To facilitate access to people outside the Illinois region, the Consulate General of Brazil in Chicago periodically visits different locations in its jurisdiction. The visits, known as "Itinerant Consulates," are intended to provide Brazilian communities far from the Consulate's headquarters with most of the consular services offered in Chicago.

ALL services provided at the Itinerant Consulate must be requested initially by the e-Consular system. For clarification, the Consulate prepared a step-by-step guide to submit your request in our system (see below) and tutorials on appointment scheduling.
