Language Test For Brazilian Citizenship

It all depends on where you actually are applying for naturalization. Most require that you've passed the CELPE-Bras test that is administered through the Ministry of Education, others will apply their own test of Portuguese. Since you didn't get a clear answer from the Federal Police where you went, it is quite likely they're one that requires the CELPE-Bras. Check Google for CELPE-Bras tests in your area.

Dear James,

i already told you that i have visited policia federal office.They said that my language test will be held

in their policia federal office.But they did not tell me that what will be structure of this test?how many

% marks required to pass this test?and how much standard time to face this test?

James i am living here in santa catarina state SC and here nearest policia federal office is situated

in Chapeco.

I have absolutely no idea what the test that the Federal Police will give you on their own will be like. Many DPF delegacies will ask for the CELPE-Bras certificate, so maybe they will give you a test similar to that one. You will probably listen to an audio, be given a task of writing something about the audio, and there will also be a reading task. Check Google for "CELPE-Bras simulado" to get some ideas.

Cheers,

This thread should answer any questions you have on CelpeBras:

Normally, the test is given twice a year; this year, because of covid-19, it is only being given once, in December.

I try to "never say never" in Brazil,  and it doesn't hurt ask nicely.  The Federal Police will no longer test applicants themselves though,  and are pretty hard over on CelpeBras.  The regulations suggest that alternate documentation - always from an official Brazilian source - may be accepted, but that documentation is either highly specialized or ill-defined.  I had a US Government certification, with Sworn Translation; it was rejected, and I'm over 60, too.
