[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No and no. DH is Brazilian and we go every year (me with my US passport). One thing they are strict about is traveling into our out of the country with children if both parents aren't present. You have to have a notarized letter from the absent parent authorizing travel. Just FYI.[/quote]

That is only applied to Brazilian kids - as in, minors who have a Brazilian passport. If that is not the case, you don't need to worry.[/quote]

My friends at US consulates in Brazil still recommend getting the notarized letter for American kids. [b]Brazilian authorities can be arbitrary in applying this requirement.[/b][/quote]

No they can't. In any case, every airport and bus station has judge 24hrs/7 days to deal with minor's issues like that. Like when a Brazilian parent forget to bring an authorization.

However, if you decide to bring an notarized letter (like we brazillians), just know it must be an specific form from the consulate in DC (if you live in this area) which costs you $20.00 and half day off work (at least). American notaries are not recognized there, so it is worthless.[/quote]
