Example
Example: a boy flies from São Paulo to London with his mother; his father authorises
Daniel Brooks, a British father living in São Paulo, stays at work over Christmas while his son Lucas, 11, who has a Brazilian passport, flies to London with his mother, Mariana Lima, from 18 December 2027 to 10 January 2028. Lucas leaves Brazil with one parent, so the other parent signs.
| Field | What is typed | On the paper |
|---|---|---|
| Trip | Abroad | AUTORIZAÇÃO DE VIAGEM INTERNACIONAL, issued under CNJ Resolução 131/2011 |
| Both parents authorise | Unticked | “Eu, abaixo assinado(a)” — one signer, Daniel |
| Parent | Daniel Brooks, pai, his São Paulo address; document RNM, nº V000000-0; CPF left empty | His name, “portador(a) do RNM (Registro Nacional Migratório) nº V000000-0”, his address, “na qualidade de pai”; with the CPF box empty, no CPF is mentioned |
| Child | Lucas Brooks Lima, 20 May 2016, passaporte brasileiro nº AA000000 | “nascido(a) em 20 de maio de 2016”, then the passport |
| Companion | Mariana Lima, her passport, mãe | “a viajar acompanhado(a) de Mariana Lima … mãe” |
| Destination, dates | Londres, Reino Unido · 18/12/2027 to 10/01/2028 | “com destino a Londres, Reino Unido, no período de 18 de dezembro de 2027 a 10 de janeiro de 2028” |
| Valid until | Left empty | “válida por dois anos, contados da data abaixo” |
One A4 page in Portuguese, dated “São Paulo, 30 de novembro de 2027”, with one signature line for Daniel Brooks marked “Firma reconhecida em cartório”. He prints two copies, signs them and has the signature recognised before the trip.
How it works
- Choose a trip within Brazil or abroad.
- Enter the parent or parents and the child.
- Enter the companion, or tick that the child travels alone, and the dates.
- Download, print two copies and have the signatures notarised.
Frequently asked questions
- When does a child need one?
- Within Brazil, a child under 16 travelling alone or with an adult who is not a close relative needs one parent’s notarised authorisation (ECA art. 83). Abroad, anyone under 18 leaving without both parents needs it: the other parent’s, or both parents’ if alone or with a third person (CNJ Resolução 131/2011).
- Does the signature need a notary?
- Yes: the parents’ signatures must be recognised at a cartório (firma reconhecida).
- What if the child travels abroad with only one parent?
- Untick “Both parents authorise”. The paper then reads “Eu, abaixo assinado(a)” and is signed by the parent who stays behind, naming the travelling parent as the companion: “a viajar acompanhado(a) de … mãe”.
- What if a parent is not Brazilian?
- Under Identity document, pick RNM (the card of a foreigner living in Brazil) or Passport and type its number: the paper names that document instead of an RG. If the parent has no CPF, leave that box empty and the paper does not mention one.
- How long is the authorisation valid?
- Two years from the date on it, unless you fill in Valid until: then it reads “Esta autorização é válida até …” with your date. Add the trip’s dates too, and the paper names the period.
