    The INSS proof of life is a determination made by the National Institute of Social Security (INSS) that requires retirees and pensioners to provide proof of life annually to avoid fraud and prevent overpayments.



    The procedure was carried out in person at the bank branches of each dependent but, due to the coronavirus pandemic, new measures were adopted thinking about the safety and preservation of the health of those who needed to give the faith of life.

    To mitigate this impact after the recurring postponement of the process in 2022, the INSS developed the fully digital proof of life. This is a pilot project that has been in use since August last year and, this year, according to the Ministry of Economy, it could reach approximately 5,3 million people.


    The INSS proof of life by cell phone, in addition to avoiding the displacement of users, allows the method to be carried out completely by phone. Want to stay in the loop and find out how the app works?

    INSS proof of life by cell phone: About the INSS service

    The project was developed by the INSS with the collaboration of the Special Secretariat for Debureaucratization, Management and Digital Government, the Ministry of Economy, the Pension Technology and Information Company (Dataprev) and the Federal Data Processing Service (Serpro).



    The identification process takes place through digital facial biometrics and that is why it is important that the beneficiaries have a cell phone that has a camera in hand. In addition, users must have their biometrics registered in the Electoral Court or National Driver's License (CNH).

    The databases used are provided by the National Traffic Department (Denatran) and the Superior Electoral Court (TSE). To keep the retirees and pensioners already eligible informed, the INSS is sending SMS and emails to contact the group of people. In addition, the material is disseminated on the Institute's official networks and channels and also through the Meu INSS app.


    What happens if I am unable to complete the INSS Proof of Life?

    When a user does not perform the proof of life, the benefit is blocked. Due to the difficulties imposed by the unfolding of Covid-19 in the country, Ordinance No. 1.278, published on February 24, communicated the extension of the procedure in March and April 2022.

    However, the return of the cuts will take effect from May. See the table below for the update schedule:
