How can I get my passport from the Brazilian consulate in Los Angeles after it issues my visa?

Upvote:6

Unlike some other Brazilian consulates in the US, the Los Angeles consulate will not mail your passport back to you after processing.

The Consulate cannot be held responsible for mailed passports or visa applications and will not mail applications or visas back.

Your options are to either pick it up yourself, or to have someone pick it up on your behalf and send it to you.

The consular agent will tell you the date and time your passport will be returned and will hand you a receipt. On the specified date, anyone can pick up the passport(s) on your behalf, provided that he or she have the original receipt.

On having someone pick it up: You can also have your application submitted by a visa agency on the approved list. If you use one of these agencies, you do not need to go to the consulate at all, and they will handle everything for you, including returning your passport. You should allow 12 business days (and possibly more) if you use a visa agency.
