Tax and Military Reporting: how it works in Brazil — first-hand

Short answer
The BPC social pension provides one minimum wage to citizens aged 70 or older who meet strict household income limits. Gov.br account levels can be upgraded to Silver via a bank account or to Gold using an ICP-Brasil digital certificate. All individuals applying for a Brazilian passport must register with the Junta de Serviço Militar.

From real experience

The social pension in Brazil is known as Benefício de Prestação Continuada (BPC).
It is equivalent to one minimum wage. Eligibility: minimum age 70 (for social pension), requires Brazilian citizenship (though residents with permanent residency may sue for it), and strict household per capita income limits (typically 1/4 of the minimum wage). A minimum of 15 years of contributions is required for standard retirement, which BPC is not.

To elevate a Gov.br account to Silver status, a Brazilian bank account is typically required.
To reach Gold status, one can purchase an ICP-Brasil digital certificate (e-CPF). Users might encounter intermittent bugs preventing status upgrades or access to certain features like 'contracheques' (pay slips).

To obtain a Brazilian passport, all individuals, including foreigners, must register with the military service ('Junta de Serviço Militar').
Military service itself is not mandatory for everyone, even for native-born Brazilians. To register, visit the local Junta de Serviço Militar with standard documents and a 'portaria' excerpt.
