So this is about the registration procedure of foreigners with long term/permanent visa after reaching Brazil. This applies to those who get a note along with their visa, 'to report/register at the Federal Police within 30 days of arrival'. This is similar to the registration to the national registry.
This is mandatory even if you have a visa stamped on your passport. This registration will issue you an identity card which comes handy (or at least the RNE - 'Registro Nacional de Estrangeiro' number) at many places. This number is your local identity number and stands next to the CPF with usage in documentations.
For the Federal Police registration, the general documents required are (exceptions may be there depending on the type of visa issued),
1. Valid travel document (passport for most, except for citizen of other latin american country for whom their national id will do)
2. Original and photocopy of valid pages of passport (front, back, visa). The copy should be attested by the officer at the Federal Police office/by a Notary
3. The form obtained along with the visa, indicated to be submitted at the Federal Police
4. Two recent photos (3x4) with white background
5. Payment receipts of corresponding fees (two fee to be paid by foreigners other than Portuguese and its previous colonies)
i) 'Taxa CARTEIRA DE ESTRANGEIRO DE PRIMEIRA VIA' = R$124,23 (code: 140120)
ii) 'Taxa REGISTRO DE ESTRANGEIROS/RESTABELECIMENTO DE REGISTRO' = R$64,58 (code: 140082)
(both as of December 2014)
These fees can be paid in any bank, post office or lottery shops.
6. Print of the fully filled electronic form available in this link (the first option)
(Note1: In bigger cities who deals with more number of foreigners/aliens, one might also need to schedule an appointment before going the office. For this process one must fill the code obtained.
Note2: Carry a proof of address when going to the Fed Police office near your residence)
Once you go to the nearest/assigned federal police office, the officer responsible for 'estrangeiros' will help you in processing your registration. He will also take your biometric data at this time.
They will issue a temporary paper citing that you've initiated the process. And mostly will give you the RNE number generated, but you have to wait about a month to get the actual id card. If you've given a valid email id, they will sent you an invitation once the id card is ready for collection. Its a laminated photo id card which is bigger than a credit card with no chip/magnetic strip on it. The number on it is more important, I guess.
