Is the CPF valid?
After the information that the CPF may have changes in its status, you may be confused, and wonder if it has validity. But the truth is that the CPF is valid for life. As it does not have a signature or photo insertion, it does not need to be renewed, and it does not serve as an identification document.
To be an appropriate document for identification, it needs to have a photo of the citizen.
