Brazil’s Ministry of Justice states that applications for ordinary, extraordinary, and provisional naturalization, as well as conversion of provisional naturalization into definitive naturalization, must be submitted digitally through the Naturalizar-se system. Required supporting documents are uploaded through the platform.
According to the Ministry of Justice, digital submission is the procedural channel for several types of naturalization in Brazil. For foreigners seeking citizenship, this means preparing electronic copies of supporting documents and using the official system rather than relying on a paper application. The procedure directly affects long-term residents moving from residence status toward citizenship. It is worth considering early in the application process because document or upload problems can delay proceedings.
