Look up addresses and phone numbers on this List of Brazilian Consulates in the United States.
The Consulate will need:
- The original Certificate of Rabies Vaccination
- The International Health Certificate, now validated by the APHIS office.
- A $20 money order.
If you mail the certificates, you must enclose a self-addressed, stamped Express U.S. Postal Service envelope. Before mailing the certificates, however, it's essential that you read the instructions about legalization of documents and express mail available on the website of the particular Consulate that will process your paperwork.
For example, legalization instructions by the Brazilian Consulate in Houston state that no courier deliveries will be accepted. On the other hand, the Brazilian Consulate in Miami accepts deliveries by all courier services.
However, both Consulates will only send the documents back to you via U.S. Postal Priority or Express Mail.
Also, find out what the expected processing time will be. It should be around two days. Like the APHIS offices, Brazilian Consulates know that pet owners are constrained by a tight schedule when requesting their pet travel documents.
If you plan to mail the documents to the Consulate, enclose a request mentioning the departure date. In my experience, the Brazilian Consulate does keep their commitment to honoring express requests, as long as you provide for express return.
But please keep in mind that every minute counts for pet travel, especially in the high season, when Consulates are swamped with requests for visas and other services.
