And that's it, you'll have your duplicate ready to be used wherever needed.
Federal Revenue Portal
Another way to get proof that your CPF is in good standing is through the body that takes care of issuing the numbers. The step by step is very simple: after filling in all the fields with your personal information, just click on the button Send enquiry and pass the security check by typing the characters that appear on the screen.
This process can be done through the mobile browser, but it works better on desktops and notebooks.
E-CAC Portal
People who declare income tax in the last two years can issue a duplicate of the CPF through the e-CAC portal, in a very simple way. At home page, just enter your CPF or CPNJ, access code and password used to deliver the income tax return.

Questions and answers about the process of issuing the CPF online
What is the minimum age to get a CPF?
There is no minimum age for a citizen to have their own CPF number and even newborns can easily be enrolled in the Individual Taxpayer Registry. It is only necessary for the legal guardian to present the necessary dues and everything can be resolved.
I don't live in Brazil, can I have my CPF?
Yea! The Federal Revenue website allows foreigners to have their own CPF, but it is important to provide the necessary information so that nothing goes wrong. Those who do not live in Brazil do not need to worry about this.
Is it necessary to pay to issue the CPF online?
The entire CPF issue process over the internet is free of charge and even if you have to go to a service point to prove the information, you don't have to pay anything to receive your own number if the process has been initiated over the internet.
Payment is only necessary when everything has been done through a partner network. Those who opt for this need to pay R$ 7 to have their CPF number.
How do I get my duplicate CPF if I don't remember the number?
In this case, it is necessary to attend a Federal Revenue service station so that your registration is checked by one of the attendants and the duplicate is also issued. Before going to the site, it is necessary to make a online scheduling, so don't show up at the service station without it.
Remember that the CPF number can be on other documents, such as RG, work card and even registration on online sites. It is worth making this query before needing to go to a Federal Revenue service post.
How do I know if my CPF is regular?
It is possible to issue a Proof of Registration Status directly on the Federal Revenue website🇧🇷 Just enter your CPF number and date of birth.
If it is irregular, it is possible to make the internet normalization if you don't have pending items on your Income Tax Return. If so, it's worth scheduling an appointment with a Federal Revenue service center to resolve both issues at once.
What happens if I lose my physical CPF card?
As much as this seems like a huge problem, the CPF blue card no longer exists and a new receipt can be issued in the most diverse channels of the Federal Revenue Service. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to the use of your data, as other people can impersonate you to make purchases that will be charged in your name. Be careful with this and more documents.
