Do you need to request new documents and want to know if it is possible to obtain a second copy of your CPF using your name? Come and find out if it is possible to do this!

We know that we are all subject to situations that are beyond our control and, consequently, can cause us a series of setbacks and headaches.

And one of them is in relation to the loss of objects – such as bags and wallets – where our documents are, such as ID, CPF, driver's license, work card and so on.

Whether it's because of a robbery, a theft or even because of your lack of attention, we can all go through this type of situation. And when this happens, most of the time, there's not much you can do.

Of course, in cases like these, the first step is to block your cards to ensure that they do not fall into the hands of malicious people – in case of loss – or that the criminals who carried out the theft do not carry out any type of financial transaction.

Next, you will need to go after another very important point: getting a second copy of your documents. And this is where many people get frustrated, since the procedures for getting new copies of documents take a certain amount of time.

That said, today we are going to talk about duplicates, with a greater focus on the duplicate of your CPF.

In today's content, we'll find out if this option is really possible and what's the best way to proceed in situations like these!

Is it possible to get a second copy of your CPF using your name?

Everyone knows that the CPF is one of the most important documents for Brazilian citizens. It is through it that we can carry out a series of actions, such as loans, applying for a passport, enrolling in social programs, and so on.

Therefore, in case of loss or theft of this document, it is necessary to treat it as a priority to request a second copy.

And that's where the central question of our text comes in: is it possible to get a second copy of your CPF using your name?

Regardless of how you request your second copy – as you will see later in our content, there are some options for carrying out this action – please note that it is not possible to request a second copy of your CPF using your name.

This is because, as it is a personal and non-transferable document, it is necessary to take some security measures when requesting a second copy of the document. And having just the name is not enough to make this request.

The information required for this request includes date of birth, mother's name, voter registration number, for example.

Only with this information in hand will you be able to obtain a second CPF quickly and easily.

Is it possible to request a second copy of your CPF online?

Nowadays, it is possible to make almost any type of request online. This just shows that technology is on our side, making our lives easier and providing more practicality to resolve various types of issues.

That said, you should know that it is possible to request a second copy of your CPF online! Below, we have listed some of the alternatives available for those who want to make this request without having to leave home!

The simplest way to obtain your second copy is through the Individual application.

At the top of the app, click on the “share” icon to send your CPF information if necessary.

It is also worth noting that the procedure for requesting a second copy of your CPF online varies according to a very important point: whether or not the citizen declares Income Tax (IR).

Next, we will show you how to proceed in each of these situations.

For those who do not declare income tax

If you do not declare income tax, the procedure is as follows:

First, you will access the Federal Revenue website. There, you will fill in your details, such as your CPF number, full name, date of birth, mother's name and voter registration number.

On the next screen, you will see the receipt. After that, just print it to have a second copy of your CPF.

For those who declare IR

If you are part of the Brazilian population that declares IR, it is possible to issue a second copy of your CPF through the e-CAC portal (Virtual Taxpayer Service Center). 

But to request this second copy, the process is a little different. And one of the main differences is that you will need to use your access code. 

With the code in hand, you will access the e-CAC page, enter your CPF number, access code and password.

On the e-CAC home screen, you will see the “Registrations” tab. Just click on this tab and then on “Proof of CPF Registration”.

At this point, proof of the second life of your CPF will be generated. Then just print it!
