Registro Nacional de Estrangeiros (RNE, Portuguese pronunciation: [ʁeˈʒistɾu nasioˈnaw di/dʒi estɾɐ̃ˈʒejɾus], National Foreigner Registry) is a personal identity document that has been required since 1938 for foreign individuals living temporarily or permanently in Brazil.
The Federal Police Department is the government entity responsible for registering foreigners at the Ministry of Justice and issuing the document. Applicants have to fill out a form and provide documentation including travel document, visa granted by a Brazilian Embassy, and birth certificate (or marriage certificate, when married).[1] Documents shall be translated by a sworn translator.[2]
According to the Ministerial Decree of 1 December 2015, the issuance of such document for refugees and asylum seekers recognised by the Brazilian Government is for free.[3] Citizens of Portuguese-speaking countries are also eligible for fees exemptions.[4]
