    As a native English speaker hopefully helping a Portuguese speaker, I want to note that “emitido” is translated as “issued” in this case, emitted doesn’t make sense for a government department doing this in english.

      Oh, thank you so much! Yep; I was thinking of the Portuguese word “emitido” back when I was composing my earlier comment, and despite the fact I already knew the English word “issued”, oftentimes my chaotic mind ends up with false cognates (plus, the word “issue” doesn’t help as having differing meanings as a noun (“the issues” = problems) and as a verb, lol), so, again, thanks!

      I edited my comment, also updating what’s now known as factual (Flávio Bolsonaro did leave Brazil and is currently in Miami, with lots of ongoing coverage from press), although I’m not sure if my edit will be seen by Lemmy instances (my past attempts on editing comments weren’t recognized by Lemmy, very likely because I use a Misskey fork).
