Otherwise, do not leave the issuance of the passport for the last minute.

In this sense, strikes and stoppages can delay the passport, so it is safer to get ahead.
Scheduling is done via the internet, through the Federal Police website, but the service can be carried out outside the agency's premises, in cities that have integrated care units, for example. Furthermore, there are certain regularities to be followed. You have to pay an amount of around R$ 250 to place the order.
