CONSULATES

 

All foreign embassies are located in the Brazilian capital, Brasília. Some of the Brazilian major cities have Consulates that may help foreign citizens in case of need. You can find a list of Embassies and Consulates in Brazil, with information about their phone numbers, web sites, email addresses and physical addresses, at these web pages:

​

There is a smartphone application created by the Government of the State of São Paulo that provides the addresses of Consulates in São Paulo, and also the addresses and telephone numbers of the Tourist Police of São Paulo. The application provides information in English and in Portuguese.

POLICES

​

Public Utility Services all over Brazil use a 3 digit telephone number beginning with 1. All cities use the same emergency numbers. The most important of these numbers are:

  • 190: Military Police

  • 192: Ambulance

  • 193: Firefighters

  • 194: Federal Police

​

The telephone number 190 (Military Police) is the most widely used number for emergencies. The 190 emergency service will transfer the call to the respective service based on the nature of emergency.

​

In the major Brazilian cities (including São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro) the 190 emergency service will be able to provide assistance in English and Spanish. Foreign visitors should, however, preferably use the Tourist Police in case they need any help.
