Not only does Brazil now issue TIPs and has been for well over a year now BUT I believe you have to do the TIP paperwork on-line and print it out before you enter Brazil AND worse, it is said that the vehicle entry is well and truly endorsed on your passport.

As of when I entered from Uruguay two months ago, this isn't the case. I didn't need any paperwork to enter Brazil aside from my title (which has been expired since 2014), they didn't mark anything in my passport and a cop I met further down the road even gave me advice on selling my bike illegally.

How does a title certificate expire.
Brazil is a bit of a mess when it comes to vehicle paperwork. At Corumba, those entering Brazil from Bolivia have to do all the TIP paperwork on-line before they cross the border. Some borders from Uruguay have been issuing TIPs for 18 months, some for much less than that and some very small places are apparently still not issing TIPs.
We left Brazil west from north Pantanal last week having left our rig in Brasilia for close to a year and not having been issued a TIP when we entered on the transoceanic highway from Peru. Had a short chat with the aduana bloke at the border who just wanted to see our passports and then we were home free.
However, despite all our happy experiences, Brazil DOES have formal procedures in place and you take your chances if you plan on ignoring them. Never a good idea to take our lucky outcomes as a basis for making essential plans because the ultimate fail is to have your vehicle confiscated and have to walk to the nearest bus stop

Brazil -
Tony Lee always has good advice.
Just a thought - did you know that every tourist vehicle/moto entered into Brazil without a proper TVIP is operating illegally in the country and therefore negates any liability payments by vehicle/moto insurance companies.
I would not be surprised if border officials are rewarded by the insurance companies for looking the other way when it comes to issuing a legal TVIP
for a tourists vehicle.
Of course, the reality is that the tourist is so pleased to get through the border - that taking responsibility for acquiring the proper TVIP is next to the last thing on the tourist's mind... The last thing is - gee what happens if I get into an accident and it is discovered by my insurance company that I am illegally operating my bike in Brazil because I don't have a proper TVIP...and therefore forfeit all insurance protection.
Like I said , just a thought. xfiltrate

Brazil just wasn't issuing paper TVIPs for nearly two years - but yes, if I had had an accident, what would have been the outcome. I was legally in Brazil with a visa driving a currently registered vehicle with no TVIP ever issued and not asked for on the way out and with newly paid up liability insurance. Hmmmm!
Getting a bit off topic but it is a constant battle to separate truth from fiction - and there are also several truths sometimes. Bolivia supposedly doesn't require insurance for less than 30 days in country (but nobody can answer my question as to who pays up in case of an accident), but recent reports are that some travellers have been asked for proof of insurance to get into Bolivia.
Brazil stories seem to be similarly confusing, and then there is Ecuador with no insurance available and no information on what to do in case of an accident.
