See how you can apply for your Citizen Card without much hassle, even from home. Read our article to the end to learn everything about the Citizen Card.
What is the Citizen Card for?
This card allows you to withdraw federal social benefits such as unemployment insurance, FGTS, salary bonus, Bolsa Família and PIS/PASEP.
For this reason, we decided to address this topic, which is very important in the lives of Brazilians.
Many of the benefits offered by the Federal Government are linked to Caixa Bank, which is why withdrawals are made at this bank branch.

To get your citizen card you will need:
- You must have the data and addresses registered with Caixa

- You also need to have the NIS, which is the Social Registration Number, or the NIT, which is the Worker Registration Number;
- After organizing all these documents, all you have to do is go to Caixa and ask for your card.
- If you have employment or social benefits to receive and do not yet have a citizen card, you just have to go to a Caixa branch.

Is it possible to get a citizen card online?
For now, there is no option for you to order the citizen card, but in addition to being able to order the card by going to a Caixa branch, you can also order it over the phone.
If you can't go to a branch to request the card, you can easily request it over the phone, but have the documents on hand to facilitate the process.
