How to register for Brazil Aid, Electricity and Gas?

If you are not yet registered with CadÚnico, you will need to go to your city hall. There, they will provide guidance on how to register and regularize your family's situation.
It is important to bring an identification document for yourself and other family members when registering.
By registering with CadÚnico, you will be eligible to receive Auxílio Brasil, Luz e Gás, as well as other available welfare benefits.
In short, make sure you have all the necessary documents on hand to speed up the process.
