What changes can we expect in the CadÚnico form?
The Ministry of Social Development has been working on creating a new form for registering families in CadÚnico. The reason for these changes is to create a more robust database, which will be crucial when the Government needs to release benefits for the most vulnerable families.

It is estimated that the new form will be finalized and implemented starting in 2025. Until that date, CadÚnico will maintain the same registration method as in the past 13 years, without any changes.
Even so, many Brazilians are already concerned about the changes, fearing that new information could make registration more complex or limit access to the Government's social programs.
The purpose of these changes is to update the form, making it more consistent with the current reality of Brazilians. This will make it easier to monitor families.
However, the “delay” in completing the new registration is due to the necessary research, carried out together with professionals from various fields, such as the Census and IBGE, so that the questions are relevant and appropriate to people's reality.
CadÚnico removed the registrations of more than half a million deceased people
The need for a new form and more precise monitoring became evident when CadÚnico removed the registrations of more than 600,000 deceased individuals. This indicates that the registration situation still needs improvement, considering that the update forms may be outdated in some respects.
Updates continue as normal
While the new form is not yet implemented, updates to CadÚnico registrations continue. Therefore, if you need to update your family’s registration, you should contact the nearest CRAS to make the change or confirm the data.

This means that, for now, there is no new data that you need to include in your registration, unless the CRAS requests a new document to verify information you have already provided.
Finally, there is no reason for concern, as the new form aims to benefit society without negatively impacting beneficiaries of the Government’s social programs. After all, an accurate registration prevents fraud and ensures income transfers reach those who truly need them.
