The Consulates General of Brazil, or Brazilian Consulate in the USA, are authorities of the Brazilian government in other countries. In addition to representing Brazil before local authorities, Consulates also provide assistance to the Brazilian community residing there, or even to Brazilians who are just traveling.
In the United States, the Brazilian community can currently count on 11 Consulates spread across the country and, now, also a vice-consulate, opened last year. For certain types of service, however, each consular office only serves Brazilians who live in a specific region.
