What is RNE?
RNE (Registro Nacional de Estrangeiro) is a mandatory document for the temporary resident in Brazil, once it
legitimates your stay in the country. The exchange student must register at a Brazilian Federal Police office
within 30 days upon his arrival and apply for a foreign person ID Card (CIE = Carteira de Identidade do
Estrangeiro). In the first months, until the definitive card is issued, a receipt (protocol) will be issued. This
protocol is needed to obtain the CPF Number, to open a bank account, and to the execution of other
activities.
Suggestions
Bring the required copies of your documents and the photographs from your home country. This
may speed up the initial arrangements and the process of the adaptation at USP and in So Paulo.
However, the certification of all documents must be done in Brazil.
Due to the large number of applicants, the waiting time at the Federal Police may be more than 6
hours at the day of the interview. Besides, booking the interview after arriving in Brazil may force
you to wait longer for this interview and cause extra delays in signing scholarship contract or to open
a bank account. Therefore, when you have your air-ticket issued and the exact day of arrival in
Brazil, we recommend you to book the interview whilst in your home country.

same bus 199D - Terminal Pinheiros in the opposite way.
Attention: the documents listed above are the standard list of documents required by the Federal Police,
however, in some cases, they may ask for extra documents such as: USP letter of acceptance or invitation
(could be the one used to obtain the Visa), the entry/exit form stamped by the Immigration officer at the
airport upon arrival in Brazil, or proof of residency, therefore, we cannot guarantee which extra document
will be required, if you already have these documents, take them with you for the interview, it may prevent
you for going there twice.
