Get everything prepared in advance and increase your chances of having your application approved!
Why Are Documents Important?
The Lar Doce Lar production team needs to verify essential information about you and your family:
- Confirm your identity – Prove you are who you say you are
- Verify ownership – Confirm the home is yours or that you have authorization
- Validate the situation – Make sure the need is real
- Ensure legal security – Confirm the renovation can be done legally
Without the correct documentation, your application may be rejected—even if your story is powerful and emotional.
Required Personal Documents
These are the basic documents every applicant should have:
1. Identity Document (RG)
| Information | Details |
|---|---|
| What it is | Brazilian identity card (RG) |
| Who needs it | The person responsible for the application |
| Condition | Must be readable and not damaged |
| Validity | RG doesn’t expire, but if it’s very old, consider updating it |
Tip: If your RG is worn out or the photo is very old, request a replacement before applying.
2. CPF (Taxpayer ID)
| Information | Details |
|---|---|
| What it is | Your CPF number |
| Where to find it | On your CPF card, newer RG, driver’s license, or on the Federal Revenue website |
| Status | Must be regular (not pending or suspended) |
How to check if your CPF is regular:
- Go to the Federal Revenue (Receita Federal) website
- Look for “CPF Consultation”
- Enter your CPF number and date of birth
- Confirm it shows “Registration Status: Regular”
If it’s irregular: Fix it before applying. This can usually be done online or at a Receita Federal service point.
3. Proof of Address

6. If the Property Is Not in Your Name

- Signature with notarization (recommended)
Option 2 – Property in the process of legal regularization:

Frequently Asked Questions About Documents
Can I apply without all documents?
You can start the application, but missing documents may eliminate your candidacy. Try to gather everything before submitting.
My documents are very old—does that matter?
RG and certificates don’t expire, but if they’re heavily damaged or the photo is unrecognizable, it’s best to update them.
I don’t have a deed, only an informal purchase contract. Can I participate?
You can try, but it may be more difficult. Ideally, you should have documentation that proves ownership more clearly.
The house is in my late father’s name. What now?
You’ll need the probate/inventory process—or at least to start the regularization process. Bring the death certificate and documents proving your relationship.
Can I upload photos of documents from my phone?
Yes! Most applications accept photos. Just make sure they are clear and readable.
