The CTPS (Work and Social Security Card) is a document that every Brazilian citizen who provides professional services is required to have.

The Employment Card is one of the most important documents, as it reproduces, clarifies and proves data about the worker's professional life. Therefore, it is very important to keep the document under proper care.

With that in mind, the government decided to create the Digital Work Card. This version allows the citizen to access his document by phone, making his day to day easier and uncomplicated.

Want to know how to download the App and access the document on your cell phone? Read the topics below.

The main function of the Work Card is to register the citizen's employment contracts in the CLT modality. This document can be issued to Brazilian citizens, who were born in the country or people where they were naturalized and who are 14 years old or older.

The CTPS records information such as: length of employment, date of admission, salary, payment of PIS, unemployment insurance, vacations and the date of end of employment. It is this information that guarantees rights such as unemployment insurance, the Severance Indemnity Fund and retirement.

The Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT) is a Brazilian law created in 1943 by the government of Getúlio Vargas. This law refers to labor and worker rights and aims to regulate labor laws, urban and rural work.

Since its approval, there have been numerous changes, aiming to adapt the law to the changes brought about by modernity. However, it remains the main agent for protecting workers and regulating labor relations.

Both versions have the same function: registering the citizen's employment contracts. The main difference is the way they present themselves.

The traditional Work Card is printed. Therefore, as this document is one of the most important documents in a citizen's life, it is necessary to keep the document well taken care of so that there is no unforeseen event and you have to request a duplicate.

The CTPS Digital has the same function as the printed version, but you access it through your cell phone. That way, you reduce the chances of crumpling, tearing or even losing the document.

Best of all, you don't need to have the printed document to order the digital version. The application process is done completely online, the deadline for delivering the document is faster and it is completely free.

It is very important to point out that even after downloading CTPS Digital, we recommend that you continue to keep your physical document.

That's because if any information error occurs, you still have your printed document to prove it.
