Digital Work Card: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how the Digital Work Card provides a digital record of your employment history and social security contributions in Brazil.
The Digital Work Card is a digital version of your employment record that tracks your professional history and social security contributions.
Who it's for
This scheme is designed for all formal employees working under the CLT system in Brazil. If you are a formal employee, this system serves as your official digital record for tracking your professional career and verifying your status as a worker.
What you get
By using this system, you receive a digital record of your employment history. This includes a log of your professional background and your social security contributions. It is a central tool for keeping track of your career milestones and ensuring your contributions are documented.
What it costs you
There is no cost to use this service. It is a free resource provided by the government and is easily accessible via a mobile app, allowing you to manage your information on the go.
The catch to know
The most important thing to keep in mind is that the accuracy of your record depends on external updates. Employers are responsible for reporting information, but they sometimes fail to update your data correctly or on time. Because of this, you should check your records regularly through the app to ensure that your employment history and social security contributions are appearing as they should.
