In summary, the BC emphasizes that all these services are completely free of charge. Therefore, no payment is required to access the amounts. Simply follow the steps below:
- Go to the official website;
- Select “Check receivables“;
- Enter the required information, such as the deceased person's CPF and date of birth;
- Carry out the security confirmation and, finally, select “Check”.
Finally, if the check shows amounts available for withdrawal, proceeding with the subsequent steps of the withdrawal request is the recommended course of action.
Instructions for applying
Thus, the request for the amounts also begins on the Central Bank’s website. Users need to select “Access the System of Receivable Amounts”, and if there is no waiting list, they will be directed to the login page.
However, it is necessary to log in with the heir’s or executor’s gov.br account (Silver and Gold levels), not with the deceased individual’s account.

In this context, after logging in, the user needs to choose the “Amounts for Deceased Individuals” option within the system. They must enter the deceased’s CPF and date of birth, read and agree to the Term of Responsibility for consulting third-party data, to validate authorization for the consultation.
By following these procedures, the user will be able to see on the screen the amount to be received, the name and contact information of the financial institution responsible for refunding the amount, and its source. The Central Bank also makes a crucial observation, clarifying that it does not send links or make contact to discuss the amounts to be received.
