Prepare for the day of the interview

After getting an appointment with CadÚnico, you will need to prepare for the day of the interview.

To do this, select your family's documents and information, which are as follows:

• CPF or voter registration card of all members;
• Document with photo of the person responsible for the family group;
• Proof of residence (preferably, electricity bill).

On the scheduled day and time, arrive at the service center at least 10 minutes early to avoid missing your appointment.

During the interview, simply present the information and documents requested by the attendant.

How to get benefits after registering?

Therefore, if your family meets the income criteria, just wait for selection and inclusion.

It is worth mentioning that it is very important to maintain the updated registration, in order to ensure inclusion in the programs.
