Elderly Person's Card – Step-by-step instructions for issuing yours at Gov.BR

Thinking about the well-being of people over 60 years old, the Federal Government created the Elderly Person's Card. Basically, it is a document that proves the income of these individuals to guarantee free access to transportation between states, in addition to other benefits. So, check out how to issue an Elderly Person’s Card through Gov.br!

Initially, it is worth mentioning that the Elderly Person's Card is a social benefit guaranteed by Law 10,741/03, valid for up to 2 years. To request it, the elderly person must have an income equal to or less than two national minimum wages.

On the other hand, the Elderly Person's Card is linked to the National Secretariat of Social Assistance (SNAS). Therefore, as it is a document that gives the right to various benefits, it is commonly used among INSS beneficiaries, especially when requesting aid and social security benefits.

Who is entitled to the Elderly Person's Card?

Every Brazilian citizen over 60 years of age, who does not have proof of income and receives up to two minimum wages, is entitled to the Elderly Card.

To access it, the elderly person must be registered with Cadúnico, the registry that gives access to various Federal Government programs. Currently, registration can be carried out directly on the Gov.br application, if the elderly person is already up to date with CadÚnico.

On the other hand, if they do not yet have a registration with CadÚnico, they must go to the CRAS – Social Assistance Reference Center in their region to register.
