CRNM e Residência; Agendamentos in Lapa

GuestPoster302 · 2021-02-18T23:10:15+01:00

“Interviewed” and received my Protocolo today, and subsequently noticed several things. 1) It appears that the PF are accepting a very, VERY limited number of people who have not been able to schedule an agendamento online. Not sure if it’s something new, but it’s something I hadn’t seen before today. If that’s your case, go for it; however, I wouldn’t hinge everything on showing up at the last minute. 2) If you’ve been in-country for 180 days or more on a tourist visa, you will need a copy of your Brazilian criminal history. I dodged this requirement by three days. 3) If you haven’t been able to make an appointment, keep trying. It took me five months; finally, after sending two emails per day for almost a solid month to Migracao.sp@dpf.gov.br I received a response and an “excepcional” agendamento. Despachantes cannot help you with this, and want to charge you big bucks for doing the same thing you’d be doing. 4) My total time spent in line was about 50 minutes. If anything, I’m always early; however, they were calling people inside by appointment times. 1030-1100 appointments were called in at 1100 sharp. I was in and out by 1137. Other than that, I was told my CRNM would be ready for pickup in 60 days; not too sure if that’s an exaggeration, but things seem to be moving more smoothly than my prior visits.

Mitchel85, I wouldn't risk it. A fake apostille could likely land you in a lot of trouble here.

There are some warning flags here, but many of these services are legit and provide valid documents, perhaps formatted differently. I wouldn't send them money without communicating with them, but I wouldn't reject the possibility out of hand either, especially if the only alternative is international travel.

At the end of the day, the decision whether to use the document or not rests with him.
