Lula's inauguration, which was scheduled to begin at 4pm, began with 18 minutes of delay, with a parade in a [[Rolls-Royce Silver Wraith]] between the [[Cathedral of Brasília]] and the National Congress, along with First Lady [[Marisa Letícia Lula da Silva|Marisa Letícia]], Vice President José Alencar and Second Lady Mariza Gomes and the Planalto Palace guard, the Independence Dragons, and other security agents.

Also due to the rain, only a few people were in the [[Praça dos Três Poderes|Three Powers Plaza]] during the parade.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.alagoas24horas.com.br/789219/cerimonia-da-posse-de-lula-comeca-com-desfile-em-carro-aberto/|title=Cerimônia de posse de Lula começa com desfile em carro aberto|website=Alagoas 24 Horas|language=pt|date=1 January 2007|accessdate=1 September 2022|archive-date=1 September 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220901194009/https://www.alagoas24horas.com.br/789219/cerimonia-da-posse-de-lula-comeca-com-desfile-em-carro-aberto/|url-status=live}}</ref>
Arriving at the Congress, President and Vice President were received and greeted by the Presidents of the [[Chamber of Deputies (Brazil)|Chamber of Deputies]], [[Aldo Rebelo]], and the [[Federal Senate (Brazil)|Senate]], [[Renan Calheiros]]. After that, they climbed the ramp and headed to the plenary of the Chamber, where the president of the Senate opened the joint session of inauguration of Lula and Alencar. Both made the oath of office and read the investiture document: "''I promise to preserve, defend and uphold the Constitution, observe the Laws, promote the general welfare of the Brazilian people, sustain the union, the integrity and the independence of Brazil''". After the reading, the President and the Vice President signed the investiture document, that was succeeded by the National Anthem played by the [[Brazilian Marine Corps]] band.<ref name="AgenciaSenado">{{cite web|url=http://www12.senado.gov.br/jornal/edicoes/2007/01/02/reeleito-presidente-lula-toma-posse-no-congresso|title=Reeleito, presidente Lula toma posse no Congresso|website=Jornal do Senado|language=pt|date=2 January 2007|accessdate=1 September 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160303205656/http://www12.senado.gov.br/jornal/edicoes/2007/01/02/reeleito-presidente-lula-toma-posse-no-congresso|archive-date=3 March 2016}}</ref>

The National Anthem was played for a second time. After that, she enters the Rolls-Royce one more time, while the [[Smoke Squadron]] flies over the [[Monumental Axis]], towards the [[Planalto Palace]], where he climbed the ramp. He then received the presidential sash and headed towards the parlatorium, where he gave another speech to the public present.<ref name="AgenciaSenado"/>
The inauguration also had the presence of ministers, state governors and mayors, besides diplomatic representatives, among them foreign ambassadors. Different from his first inauguration, there were no foreign heads of State present, and for this reason the traditional dinner at the [[Itamaraty Palace]] didn't happen. The ceremony ended during the evening, with concerts of many musical attractions at the Three Powers Plaza.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www12.senado.leg.br/noticias/materias/2007/01/01/cerimonia-nao-contou-com-chefes-de-estado|title=Cerimônia não contou com chefes de Estado|website=Senado Notícias|language=pt|date=1 January 2007|accessdate=1 September 2022|archive-date=1 September 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220901194009/https://www12.senado.leg.br/noticias/materias/2007/01/01/cerimonia-nao-contou-com-chefes-de-estado|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www1.folha.uol.com.br/folha/brasil/ult96u88191.shtml|title=Esvaziada, cerimônia de posse de Lula é acompanhada por 10 mil pessoas|website=Folha de S.
