CPF - Individual Taxpayer Registry

CPF applications must be made in person - by appointment - at the Consular Office in Stockholm. The CPF will be issued within 5 working days.

Registering for the Individual Taxpayer Registry (CPF) is mandatory for Brazilian or foreign nationals of any age who own or would like to own assets and rights in Brazil which are subject to public registration, including real estate, vehicles, vessels, aircrafts, equity interests / stock shares, bank accounts or financial / capital market investments.

The CPF number is issued only once (unique and definitive), and it is not possible to register twice. The CPF number will be generated upon registration and recorded on the receipt provided to the applicant. The number must be kept in a safe place or memorised, as "CPF cards" are no longer issued.

Due to tax privacy regulations, those who have lost / forgotten their CPF number must retrieve it directly at one of the units of the Federal Revenue ("Receita Federal") in Brazil, as this matter cannot be solved at the Consular Section. Further clarifications can be obtained by e-mail at: cpf.residente.exterior@receita.fazenda.gov.br
