Next steps

Once the process has been completed, you will receive an “proof of receipt” in PDF format with the assigned electronic register number.
This register number assigned is not the same code (SVC) as obtained in the service without a certificate, so you cannot consult an application in the service without a certificate with the electronic register number. In this case, the system will indicate that the application does not exist.
If you do not receive the confirmation message or you receive an error or transmission failure message, you must submit the documentation at another time or through other means.

The INSS will send the resolution of the application to the applicant’s address within a maximum of six months.
