In Brazil, full names are mandatory on official documents and formal registrations. Brazilians often have multiple given names and surnames (from both parents), making full names longer than in English-speaking countries. In the USA, using someone's full name is often associated with formal or serious situations. In Portuguese-speaking cultures, the full name is essential for legal identification and official paperwork.
