Getting a CPF number in Sao Paulo 2026 as a foreigner
Book it through the Receita's scheduling portal the moment you land, slots at the Faria Lima post dry up fast. Bring a printed protocol plus your passport and proof of address. Skip cafés for wifi, use a papelaria near your pousada.
Cafés work fine if you've got a Brazilian number for the wifi SMS code, otherwise the papelaria is safer.
The poupança passbook works as proof too.
Good shout on teh poupança, banks like Itaú and Caixa issue it same day once you've got the CPF protocol in hand. It only really works if the account's already open though, so it's more of a backup than a first move.
Papelarias charge by the hour, worth knowing.
Most in Centro charge around R$10 an hour, though some will let you camp out all morning for a flat fee if you ask.
ask the pousada desk to print ur protocol too, their printer beats hunting a papelaria at 8am
Online first, then Receita for the in-person bit.
Agree, but bring the protocol printout.
Starting it via the e-CAC portal saves a queue ticket, but you'll still need the protocol number in hand at the counter.
Novo Sabor in Sao Paulo, worth the trip?
Havent been myself but friends who went said the tasting menu is the move, not the a la carte stuff.
Tbh I'd go for lunch instead of dinner, the menu's cheaper and you still get the good stuff.
lunch is teh way, went around 1pm on a weekday
