Brazilian passport almost expired

[isleta521 5]

I just found out that my wifes passport is about to expire in August. We are leaving tomorrow and will return in two weeks which is before it expires. Val has her permanent resident card as the airline said that she should not have a problem returning but I dont know if we are going to have a problem with the federal Police in Brazil since it has to be valid within 6 months of travel as I am just told (but since she has her PR card). Do you know first do we really need to renew her passport when we are there and second, can they do it within two weeks in the "emergency mode" if you pay them the 200 real?.

I knew it was about to expire and I wanted to renew it once we returned but I did not know that it had to be valid within the 6 months prior.

thanks for any answers.

Isleta.

My wife just called the Federal Police in Brasil and luckily, they said we should not have a problem since she has the geen card even though she has less than 6 months on her passport. I really do hate the stress nowadays that goes with flying.
