MY Goddaughter was born in the US, then the family moved back to brazil when she was a baby, she's 17 now and want to come for a visit. She has a US passport when she was baby and i beleive it got renewed at the US consulate in Brazil when she was a little bit older.

The question is

When she's traveling to the US, Does she have to show them her US passport (have to check if she also has a Brazil passport) what about when she's going back to Brazil?

For US citizen we need visa to go to Brazil so I am not sure what the case would be in her situation

Gone but not Forgotten!

I'm not from Brazil but my kids are dual citzenship Canada & US. We travelled to Belgium and on our way back we were pulled aside for extra checks - we were told that it was because our kids travelled on their Canadian passport. A US citizen has to enter the US on their US passport. If not you will be flagged.

For the entering to Brazil I don't know - in Europe they really don't care which passport you use. But my guess is that she is best to travel to US on US passport and back to Brazil on Braziilian passport.

I agree

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Assuming one of your goddaughter parents was a Brazilian citizen when she was born, she is Brazilian citizen. She will need a Brazilian passport to enter Brazil (actually she does not even need one, but it will make it easier). I recommend one of her parents to go to the Federal Police website (www.dpf.gov.br) and check the documents required to get a passport. It's not complicated. If they registered her US birth certificate in the Brazilian Consulate in the US everything will be easier, since she will have a birth certificate equivalent valid in Brazil. Due to the fact that she is 17, she will be required to get a state issued ID (free) to be able to apply for a passport. To apply for the ID, she and one of the parents will have to go to a state police precinct (delegacia) with the birth certificate and wait a couple weeks to get it done.

Edit: how did she enter Brazil as a baby? My son was also born in the US (both I and my wife are Brazilian Citizens) and he needed a Brazilian passport to board the plane to move back here. Also, she probably is in school and they ask for some ID, so at least she has a valid birth certificate.

Best of luck.

I think you are getting seriously confused.

All Passports show place of birth. Place of birth does not equate to nationality.

Even in the US there are limited circumstances where someone born here is not a citizen.

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").
