The first stoppage in the preparation of passports took place on November 19, allegedly due to a lack of resources to produce them. As early as next week, R$ 37.36 million were transferred from the National Fund for Scientific and Technological Development by the Federal Government, aiming to return the service to its normality.

Despite this, it is not new that the issuance of passports was suspended due to lack of funds, since in 2017 the fact also occurred, even if for a few weeks. On that occasion, an extraordinary credit was requested, that is, which is not included in the expenditure ceiling, in the amount of R$ 102 million to resolve the issue.
