Residency via Childbirth in Brazil: real experience from chats

Short answer
To expedite a newborn's passport, visit the birth hospital and cartório in person to facilitate the Federal Police's verification inquiries. For residency applications, ensure you have the second parent's passport, and note that mandatory vaccination schedules are strictly enforced for long-term residency.

From real experience

During the passport application process for a newborn in Brazil, the Federal Police (Polícia Federal) sends verification letters to the birth hospital and the issuing cartório.
To expedite this process, applicants should ask the police officer for the exact addresses where the queries were sent, and physically visit those institutions to speed up their responses. Additionally, the digital version of the National Identity Card (CIN - Carteira de Identidade Nacional) becomes available on the 'gov.br' application shortly after biometric registration, before the physical card is printed.

2. Submitting the birth certificate and other required documents to the Federal Police (Polícia Federal). The processing time can vary, with some reports indicating it can take as little as 7-10 days in certain locations like Florianópolis.

Legal pathways to Brazilian residency/citizenship: 1. Birth: A child born in Brazil automatically receives citizenship; parents may apply for residency based on having a Brazilian child.
2. Marriage: Spouses of Brazilian citizens can apply for permanent residency, but it does not grant instant citizenship. 3. Citizenship for spouses of Russian citizens: Russian law allows spouses of Russian citizens to apply for citizenship after 3 years of marriage.

Brazil enforces a strong vaccination schedule.
Refusal to vaccinate a child is difficult and may lead to intervention by local social services (Conselho Tutelar). Documentation of vaccination is typically required for school enrollment and daycare access. The path to citizenship requires long-term residency (approximately 3 years), making it impossible to avoid local health regulations during that period.
