About the Brazilian Embassy in The Hague
According to the Dutch government, Brazil is represented by Ambassador Fernando Simas Magalhães (credentials presented 6 September 2023). Unlike in most countries, the embassies in the Netherlands are not in the capital Amsterdam but in The Hague, the seat of government. Brazil also has a consulate general in Amsterdam.
Consular services
Typical consular services include:
- Brazilian passports and emergency travel documents
- Registration of births, marriages and deaths
- Certification and legalisation of documents
- Powers of attorney and notarial acts
- Visas for travellers who need one for Brazil
Depending on where you live, consular matters may also be handled by the consulate general in Amsterdam. The Dutch government does not publish the consular districts – ask the embassy if in doubt.
