context_page_description: The Brazilian passport is the official document for foreign travel issued by the federal government, through the Federal Police.
  A new model was officially introduced in July 2015 that complies with both Mercosul and ICAO standards, and bring a new biometric cryptography method, and replaces the last model, from 2010. The new passport also has a new due date of 10 years.
  As a rule, Brazilian passports are valid for ten years from the date of issue. They cannot be renewed: a new passport must be obtained when the previous one has expired or a minimum validity period is required by the country to be visited.
  Brazilian passports can be ordered by mail at the Brazilian consulate that has jurisdiction over the person's residence in a foreign country. Passports ordered by mail are also valid for 10 years but do not possess a chip with the biometric data of its bearer. The instructions say that whether applying for a "new" passport or a "renewal", the same application is used.
  Brazilian citizens do not need a passport when traveling to most other South American countries. For these countries, they may use just their domestic identification cards.
context_section_description: Passports of many countries contain a message, nominally from the official or office in charge of passport issuance (e.g., Secretary of State, Minister of Foreign Affairs), addressed to authorities of other countries. The message identifies the bearer as a citizen of the issuing country, requests free passage through the other country, and requests further that, when necessary, aid and protection be afforded as per international laws.
  In Brazilian passports, there is no highlight to the message whatsoever, nor is it referred to as a message from Brazilian authorities. It is printed on the back of the front cover, as well as three other information blocks. It is in Portuguese, French, English and Spanish. The message is:
  In Portuguese:
  Roga-se às autoridades estrangeiras que prestem ao titular deste passaporte auxílio e assistência em caso de necessidade.
  in French:
  Les autorités des États étrangers sont priées de bien vouloir prêter au titulaire de ce passeport aide et assistance au besoin.
  in English:
  Foreign authorities are requested to afford the bearer such assistance and protection as may be necessary.
  and in Spanish:
  Se ruega a las autoridades extranjeras que presten al titular de este pasaporte auxilio y asistencia en caso de necesidad.
