It is a record that contains information about family composition, education, employment status and income, among other data.

Furthermore, the Single Registry is an essential tool for the government to understand the needs of low-income families and direct public policies more effectively.

By providing accurate information on the socioeconomic reality of families, the Single Registry contributes to the implementation of actions aimed at improving the living conditions of these individuals.

Therefore, understanding how the Single Registry works and its importance is essential for both families who can benefit from social programs and for public administrators responsible for implementing and updating them.

Who can apply?

Families with a monthly income of up to half the minimum wage per person must register.

Families with an income of up to three minimum wages can also register, provided they have an elderly member, a person with a disability or a child/adolescent up to 17 years old. Indigenous peoples, quilombolas, riverside communities and the homeless population can also register.

How to Register for the Single Registry

It is worth noting that registration in the Single Registry is free and can be done by following the steps below:

• Look for the CRAS nearest.
• Bring the necessary documents: (CPF of all family members, birth or marriage certificate, proof of residence, work card – if you have one and voter registration card – if you have one).
• Fill out the registration form.
• Wait for a visit from a CRAS interviewer.
• Wait for the city hall to analyze the data.
• Check the family's inclusion in the Single Registry.

Please note that registration with the Single Registry does not guarantee automatic access to any social program. Each program has its own selection criteria, and you must meet these criteria to qualify.

It is an essential tool for promoting equality and well-being for all Brazilians.
