The CPF is quite annoying as a tourist. Mostly there are workarounds, but it is ridiculous how many things assume you have one. Yes, fake ones usually work. It was a few years back when I visited, but the hoops I had to jump through to buy an internal flight was unbelievable. I mean, the idea that a non-resident might want to travel within the country on a budget airline right??
- Natsu 6y agoYeah, I hear you. Technically, anyone can get one, though I believe it comes with some annoying tax obligations, so it's not really something one would do as a tourist.
- aflag 6y agoYou can even get multiple numbers if you want. Though I think you're not supposed to.
- cesarb 6y ago> multiple numbers At least it's not as wonky as our identity card number. For those who don't know, since our identity cards are emitted by the state governments, instead of the federal government, in theory a single person can have 27 different identity cards, one for each of the 26 states plus the federal district; all of them are valid in the whole country (and beyond, since some Mercosul treaties allow using the identity card instead of the passport).
- Natsu 6y agoThat's why there are all those proposals for a Cadastro Único (CU) that would fix this, right? :)
