GOV.BR account: how to upgrade to silver and gold levels to be able to withdraw your “forgotten” money
Advertisement
Access to federal government services has several levels of access, and each of them offers different possibilities. See all the information below.
GOV.BR is the Brazilian federal government portal that started operating on July 31, 2019.
The main idea of this portal was to give citizens the possibility to create one account and through a single password able to access various government digital services.
By registering your gov.br account, the government will be able to identify you when requesting a digital public service.
Each public service requires a different level of security, ranging from basic data (low security) to facial and document validations (high security).
For example, the Central Bank will require citizens to have silver or gold levels to be able to request the recovery of money forgotten in their bank accounts.
With that in mind, we prepared this tutorial to help you level up and avoid any problems with your request.
What are the GOV.BR account levels?
The GOV.BR account has three access levels: bronze, silver and gold.
The three levels of the GOV.BR account reflect the way it is created or validated and differentiate some characteristics of the account in terms of aspects:

- digital transactions that can be carried out with the GOV.BR account.
Therefore, the greater the security of validating user data, in Electoral Court databases or via digital certificate, for example, the higher the account level.
