Issuance depends on identity validation, documentation and ICP-Brasil rules. Do not send CPF, passport or sensitive documents via WhatsApp or the initial form.
O que é

Não é site do governo. Emissão sujeita a validação de identidade, documentação e normas da ICP-Brasil.
The four options, side by side
Before the table, a definition that avoids confusion: “getting” the certificate means going through identity validation with a Registration Authority, because issuance itself is always done by the Certificate Authority, in Brazil. The real question, then, is where you will do that validation.
RA abroad, by video call
In any country, with internet and a camera · Brazilian photo ID, CPF in order, a time agreed in your time zone · Most people: those living abroad with no trip booked
In person in London
At our base, in the UK · The same documents, checked face to face · Those living in Britain or passing through London who prefer direct contact
RA in Brazil, during a trip
In a Brazilian city, during business hours · Prior booking and documents; validation in person or by video from Brazil · Those already going to Brazil who want to sort it there — with the risk of the trip ending first
Consulate or embassy
— · — · Doesn't issue digital certificates. Handles passports, civil records and consular powers of attorney, but isn't an RA
By continent: what changes in practice
Europe
Time zone close to London: easy slots to agree on. Those in England can choose in person; the rest of the continent uses video. Country guides in Portugal and Scotland.
PortugalNorth and Latin America
A few hours' difference from London and from Brazil. The video session fits in the local morning or late afternoon without sacrificing work.
Asia, Oceania and the Middle East
Opposite time zone to Brazil: this is where an RA in London makes the biggest difference, because slots are agreed with you rather than around São Paulo's office hours.
Africa
Time zones close to Europe's. The only requirement is a stable connection for the video call; everything else is the same.
Scenario: the search for the right place
Real case
Illustrative scenario. A Brazilian automotive engineer transferred to Seoul needs an e-CPF to sign an amendment to the articles of his parents' company in Joinville, where he is a minority partner. He calls the consulate-general and hears that the service doesn't exist there. He looks for a Brazilian RA and finds that booking requires Brasília business hours — the middle of the night in Korea. He finds an RA abroad, schedules the video call for early evening in Seoul, presents his Brazilian passport and, with the certificate installed, signs the amendment together with his parents, who signed the same PDF in Santa Catarina. — The “where” that works is the one that respects your clock
What each route looks like with us
By video
You send the documents on WhatsApp, receive a proposed time in your time zone and join a video call with an RA agent, who checks the document and your identity live. Issuance follows.
In person in London
The same journey, with the check done across the table at our base. Handy for anyone who wants installation questions answered on the spot.
During a trip to Brazil
If you'd rather sort it there, see what to take in which documents I need. If the trip is short, consider doing it by video before boarding.
Before you decide
“My time zone is opposite to Brazil's.”
That is exactly the case an RA abroad solves: the call is booked at a time that works for you, not during Brazilian office hours.
“My Brazilian passport has expired.”
A valid RG or CNH works for validation. If none of the three is valid, the consulate renews the passport — that one really is its job.
“Is video as secure as in person?”
A video call with an RA agent is a validation method provided for in ICP-Brasil; the check is live, with the original document in hand. The certificate issued is identical.
“Is it worth waiting for the next trip?”
Only if the trip is long and the deadline of what you need to sign allows it. The sum between waiting and issuing now is in how much a digital certificate costs abroad.

By video or in person in London, the reference is the same: the validation location adds no fee. What sets the figure is the combination of model and validity.
