Step by Step to Apply for Unemployment Insurance by Mobile Phone 

Download the Digital Work Permit App

The first step is to download the Digital Work Permit. It is available for free for both Android and iOS. This app is an essential tool for managing your working life digitally, including applying for unemployment insurance. 

Login to the App

After installing the application, you will need to log in. If you are already registered on the Gov.br portal, use the same credentials to access the app. Otherwise, you will need to create an account. This process is simple and quick, requiring only basic information such as your CPF and personal details. 

Access the Unemployment Insurance Area

Once logged in, go to the unemployment insurance area. In the application's main menu, select the "Benefits" option and then "Apply for Unemployment Insurance". This option will allow you to start the application process directly from your cell phone. 

Fill in the required information

At this stage, the application will ask you to enter some essential information, such as the unemployment insurance application number provided by the company at the time of dismissal, as well as the company's details and your bank account for receiving the benefit. 

Confirm the details and send the request

Once you have filled in all the details, review the information to make sure everything is correct. Any errors could delay the process or even result in the request being rejected. Once you have confirmed that everything is correct, send the request. The system will process the request and you will receive a confirmation in the application itself. 

Track the status of your request

After submitting the application, it is possible to follow the status of the request directly through the app. Simply go back to the "Benefits" area and check the status of your unemployment insurance. Keep an eye out for any messages about additional requirements or supplementary documents that may be requested.
