New Passport Fee Schedule for 2026 Raises Cost Awareness for Brazilian Travelers

With international trips rebounding to pre-pandemic levels, many Brazilians are discovering that a new passport now costs more. On 20 February, the Minas-Gerais daily Estado de Minas published an updated fee table issued by the Polícia Federal for 2026. A standard 10-year passport remains R$ 257.25, but expedited (‘urgência comprovada’) requests jump to R$ 334.42 and second-issue replacements can reach R$ 514.50 once fines are added. Although the base fee is unchanged from 2025, ancillary charges have increased. The article notes that courier delivery, optional SMS tracking and the mandatory boleto bancário clearing fee together add up to R$ 80—almost 30 % more than last year. Families renewing multiple passports therefore face a noticeably higher outlay. For mobility managers, the recalibrated costs matter because many companies reimburse travel documents for assignees and frequent travellers. Budget forecasts should incorporate the higher ancillary fees and the possibility that employees may request expedited issuance as business travel accelerates.

Practical tip: appointments in São Paulo and Rio continue to book out four to six weeks ahead. Employers should encourage staff to start renewal processes at least three months before expiry to avoid paying for urgency services.
