Birth Registration

GENERAL INFORMATION

Consular birth registration entitles you to Brazilian nationality and is a prerequisite for applying for a passport.

The declarant of the birth must be the Brazilian father or mother, who must be present at the time of registration.

Once the consular certificate has been obtained, the certificate must be registered at the Civil Registry Office of the city where the parents are registered in Brazil, or, if the parents cannot prove they are registered in Brazil, at the Civil Registry Office of the Federal District. It is recommended that the transfer takes place quickly, preferably on the first trip to Brazil after registration.

It is not necessary for the registrant (child) under the age of 12 to be present.

For the registration of children over 12, the presence of the registrant (child) at the Consulate is mandatory. The registration of children over 12 also requires the presence of two witnesses.

IMPORTANT: SURNAME COMPOSITION

According to Turkish law, children born in Turkey are given the father's full surname, and it is not possible to add the mother's surname.

The consular register will reproduce the child's name in the same way as it is recorded on the Turkish birth certificate.

It is recommended that you use a cell phone or computer with a scanner to fill in the following forms, as you will need to send images (or photos) of documents.

Photos or documents scanned by cell phone should be clear, only the document should appear, do not photograph other objects.

REQUIRED DOCUMENTATION

1 - Application form for birth registration.

2 - Original and copy of the Turkish birth registration certificate. For children who are also the children of Turkish citizens, the "Nüfus Kayıt Örneği" is accepted. For children who are not Turkish citizens, the "Doğum Bildirim Formu" (birth registration document for foreigners) issued by the "Nüfus ve Vatandaşlık İşleri Genel Müdürlüğü" is accepted.

3 - Original and copy of both parents' identity documents. For Brazilians, present a Brazilian identity document, such as a passport, ID card, etc.; for foreigners, a passport or Turkish identity card ("kimlik").
