Passport delivery post interview

[brderenne 3]

hi guys... I am going through the process of registering for my husbands interview that is scheduled  next month in rio de janiero. THey are making me secure a courier service to deliver the passport and visa.. which of course makes me nervous after all this time waiting.. handing your passport over to Brazilian courier services. We do not live in rio de janiero so we do not have the option to pick it up from a ASC. DId anybody have their passport sent to a business or residential address and it be ok

we are thinking of putting it in a friends name to have delivered at the apartment building because somebody is always at the front gate.. can It be delivered to somebody like this? also what was the time frame for anybody specifically in brazil? thank you

I do not have experience with couriers in Brazil, but in Mexico we are leery of mailing important documents, so we decided to pick it up at the courier's office (DHL) instead of having it delivered to our house, we were able to choose one nearby. It worked very well for us, and I remember that it only took a few days to arrive.

We picked ours up at the Sao Paulo ASC, it was delivered there in about a week's time and we picked it up 2 days later (you schedule a time to pick it up at a ASC once they have received it). I believe if someone other than the recipient is going to sign for the package, they have to have authorization ahead of time, but I'm not sure how you would go about doing that.
