What Brazilian identity documents are required?

In the EB-5 process, proving identity and personal status is part of the requirements. The central document is typically a valid passport, which officially confirms identity and nationality at the international level.

Beyond the passport, the process usually brings together other personal and civil documents to support information such as marital status, parentage, and date of birth. Among those commonly requested are:

• Identity and tax registration documents from the country of origin (in Brazil, the RG and CPF).
• Civil certificates, such as birth certificates and, when applicable, marriage or divorce certificates.
• Sworn/certified translations into English of the documents, in accordance with United States consulate requirements.

Each case has its own particularities and official requirements may change over time. For that reason, do not rely on memory when assembling your document list: follow the guidelines from the Department of State and the responsible consulate, and confirm the documents required for your specific stage. When in doubt, guidance from a trusted specialist is well worth it.
