The Single Registry for Social Programs of the Federal Government, known as CadÚnico, is an essential tool in Brazil for identifying and characterizing low-income families.
Managed by the Ministry of Citizenship, CadÚnico is a registry that gathers socioeconomic information on individuals and families, allowing analysis and selection for participation in social programs and government benefits.
Therefore, since this tool stores people's data, it is very important to keep the information always updated. This is because those who do not update this data may end up losing government benefits.

In other words, this update determines the eligibility of families to participate in social programs. Therefore, keeping the data updated ensures that families in vulnerable situations are correctly identified and have access to the appropriate benefits.
Furthermore, regular updating contributes to a fairer and more efficient distribution of public resources, preventing possible fraud.
What data does CadÚnico collect?
The registry collects data such as:
- Income;
- Education;
- Family composition;
- Housing conditions
It is worth noting that this information is used exclusively to identify potential beneficiaries of programs such as Family Allowance, Social Electricity Tariff, My Home, My Life, among others.
Who can register?
CadÚnico focuses on low-income families who earn half the minimum wage per person. However, families with a monthly income of up to three minimum wages can register, as long as they have a link to inclusion in government social programs.
Additionally, homeless people can also register to access benefits.
If you haven't registered yet, just go in person to a service center in your city. This is because despite being a government program, it is operated by city halls.
Therefore, CRAS (Social Assistance Reference Centers) provide this type of service and can help quickly. To register, you need to bring documents such as your ID, CPF and voter registration card.
In addition, the person responsible for the family must bring at least one identification document for each family member.
