What is the Citizen Card? O Citizen Card is issued by Caixa Econômica Federal to all Brazilians hired under the CLT (Consolidação das Leis do Work) or with a formal contract, in addition to citizens who are part of social assistance programs, such as the Bolsa Family.
Through it, it is possible to consult and withdraw labor and social benefits, among which are: unemployment insurance, PIS, FGTS, Bolsa Família and salary allowance.

To have access to the card, the user must first fit into the group of people who can have a card.
Subsequently, the user can apply through a Caixa branch or call the call center on 0800 726 0207. In both cases, it is essential to have documentation at hand, such as RG, CPF and proof of address.
As soon as the card arrives at the address informed during the card application process, the user must carry out the unlock for the full use of its functions.
Follow the steps below to unlock your Citizen Card:
To avoid inconvenience and headache, it is recommended unlock the card as soon as you receive it. Some services and operations, such as withdrawals and balance inquiries, require that the functions be previously available.
Testing the card at an ATM at a Caixa branch is another important tip. In the event of a chip or manufacturing defect, the user may request an exchange or reshipment as soon as possible.
Thus, the experience using the card becomes agile, easy and much more peaceful.
