To find a U.S. consular post in Brazil, check the U.S. Department of State’s Brazil Travel Advisory and open its “Embassies and consulates” section. It lists the U.S. Embassy in Brasília and posts in eight other Brazilian cities, with routine and after-hours contact numbers. Confirm the details on the live page before calling or traveling, since contact information and access arrangements can change.

U.S. embassy and consular posts in Brazil

The State Department directory lists the following addresses and telephone contacts. “Main contact” is for routine inquiries; use the after-hours contact for urgent consular matters outside normal office hours. The directory sometimes displays an international dialing prefix before +55; use the format required by your phone carrier.

How to choose and contact a post

  1. Locate yourself. Note the city or state where you are now and compare it with the cities in the directory.
  2. Check the live listing. Open the Brazil Travel Advisory and review “Embassies and consulates.” The directory also links to the official U.S. mission website at br.usembassy.gov.
  3. For routine service, use the main contact. Check the mission website for current instructions before visiting; the State Department’s Help Abroad guidance directs travelers to an embassy or consulate for routine services as well as emergency help.
  4. For urgent help after hours, use the listed emergency contact. Belo Horizonte and Manaus route callers to Brasília, Fortaleza routes callers to Recife, and Salvador routes callers to Rio de Janeiro.
  5. If someone faces an immediate threat to life or safety, contact Brazilian emergency services first. Then contact the U.S. post for consular assistance. Do not assume the embassy can dispatch local responders.

What U.S. consular staff may help with

USAGov says U.S. citizens abroad can contact a U.S. embassy for assistance with situations including stranded citizens who need help returning to the United States, foreign crises and natural disasters, lost or stolen passports, medical emergencies, crime or arrest, missing persons, parental child abductions, and deaths abroad. For circumstances specific to you, contact a post for guidance. See USAGov’s emergency assistance abroad guidance, last updated March 31, 2026.

What “nearest” does—and does not—tell you

The closest listed city is a practical starting point, not proof that the post handles your particular service or has jurisdiction over the state where you are. The available directory does not establish current state-by-state consular district boundaries. If jurisdiction matters, check the relevant service instructions on the mission website or ask the post before traveling.

If you cannot reach the nearest embassy in an emergency, the State Department’s Help Abroad page lists 202-501-4444 for all other locations. Confirm the number on the live page before using it.

Check the advisory before travel

The Brazil Travel Advisory search result was last updated August 6, 2026, and its history showed an August 31, 2026 entry at Level 2, “Exercise increased caution,” with crime and kidnapping or hostage-taking risk indicators. Advisory details can change; consult the live page for current travel guidance rather than relying on a saved copy.
