Step 1 of 7
Is this the right service for you?
Choose the option that best describes why you need help. Fix My CPF does not issue a first-time CPF.
This service is not for first-time registration.
First-time applicants must use the official Brazilian government registration process.
First-time applicants must use the official Brazilian government registration process.
Who is this application for?
An applicant under 16 follows a different document process.
The FCPF must be signed by the Brazilian parent. The email package must also include the child’s birth certificate, that parent’s ID document, and a selfie of the parent holding their own open ID near their face—not the child’s ID.

Step 2 of 7
Your personal and contact details.
Enter the details Fix My CPF will use to identify your intake and contact you. Do not enter your CPF or passport number on this preview page.
Do not abbreviate, shorten, add, remove, or change accents or surnames.
Required. Receita Federal sends the corrected CPF to this address, or Fix My CPF forwards it to you.
This only applies to Brazilian citizens — leave blank if you don't have one.
Only fill this in if you were born in Brazil and have lived there. Leave blank if you've never lived in Brazil.
Step 3 of 7
Check the status, then describe the issue.
Before starting, use Receita Federal’s public “Proof of CPF Registration Status” page to verify the record. If you cannot find or do not know the CPF number, recover it first.
Do not include your CPF or passport number here.
01
Signed FCPF
The registration form generated online, including its service code, printed and signed by hand.
02
Applicant’s photo ID
Passport, identity card, driver’s license, or work card. For a wrong birth date, it must prove the correct date.
03
Proof of foreign residence
A utility bill, phone bill, or council tax document.
04
Birth certificate
The applicant’s birth certificate is always required.
05
Applicant selfie
A selfie of the applicant holding their open ID document near their face.
+
Marriage or divorce evidence
Marriage certificate and, when applicable, the divorce decree showing the name change.
+
Reactivation request
Include the request to reactivate the cancelled CPF with the supporting documents.
+
Death certificate
Required when acting in an inheritance matter for a deceased CPF holder.
+
Brazilian parent’s ID
Required when the applicant is under 16.
+
Brazilian parent’s selfie
The parent must hold their own open ID document near their face—not the child’s ID.
+
Notarized power of attorney
Required whenever an attorney-in-fact acts for the applicant.
File rules: attach PDF or JPEG files only. Do not send other file formats or cloud-storage links.
FCPF guidance for non-Brazilians: leave “voter ID” blank because foreigners do not have one. If you have never lived in Brazil, mark “date of departure from Brazil” as not applicable.
Step 4 of 7
Verify both names against the documents.
Receita Federal can reject a request when a name does not match the supporting documents exactly. Compare every letter before continuing—we never change a name silently.
01
No abbreviations
Initials such as “M.” and shortened names are mismatches.
02
Every surname must match
Missing or extra surnames must be reviewed.
03
Accents must match
A wrong or missing accent is a mismatch.
04
Maiden and married names need a bridge
If the ID and civil record use different names, provide the marriage certificate showing the change.
Does the applicant’s full name match the ID exactly?
Does the mother’s full name match the supporting documents exactly?
Name mismatch: this case cannot continue automatically.
Do not change or “correct” the name in the form. Fix My CPF must compare the documents and review the case. If a maiden name and married name differ, include the marriage certificate.

Before you contact us
Quick answers.
Can you help if I live outside Brazil?
Yes. The service is designed for foreigners anywhere in the world. The process is remote, follows Receita Federal’s official channel for residents abroad, and does not require a consulate visit.
What happens after the intake?
Our team will contact you on WhatsApp at +1 (305) 848-3558 and send your FCPF protocol there. Print it and sign it by hand — just like a passport application — then reply on WhatsApp with legible copies of the signed protocol, your photo ID, a selfie holding your open ID near your face, proof of address abroad, and your payment receipt. We review everything and submit your case to Receita Federal following the official process. The CPF is usually processed within 10 business days; delays can happen and are outside our control.
What is different for an applicant under 16?
The Brazilian parent must sign the FCPF. The submission must also include the Brazilian parent’s ID document and a selfie of the parent holding their own open ID near their face—not the minor’s ID.
Do I send the request to a Brazilian consulate?
No. Send it directly to Receita Federal at cpf.residente.exterior@rfb.gov.br. Consulates do not process these requests, except for corrections of CPFs they issued within the previous 90 days.
How long does a correction take?
Receita Federal usually processes the CPF within 10 business days. Delays can happen — processing times are set by the Brazilian authority and are outside our control.
Is Fix My CPF a Brazilian government agency?
No. Fix My CPF is an independent private service and is not affiliated with the Brazilian government.
