Do I need my Brazilian RG or identity card in the USA?

When traveling to the United States, it is essential to know that the mandatory document for entry is the passport.

The Brazilian RG or identity card, although important in Brazil, is not accepted for U.S. immigration control and does not replace the passport.

For those traveling with ESTA authorization, the passport is the only valid identification in records and at the border.

It is recommended to keep your passport valid and be attentive to the requirements of both countries.

It is also crucial to follow U.S. immigration regulations, consult official sources and specialized professionals to ensure a safe trip and avoid fraud.

The passport is indispensable for entering the country without problems.
