Aracaju relocation guide
Moving to Aracaju
Make the property and document checks early enough to change the plan.

The short answer
An Aracaju move works best when the lease, documents and services follow the same sequence. Ask the agent about your identity and guarantee before arranging a payment. Confirm the school campus and care route before choosing the address. Brazil's CPF and residence registration serve different purposes, while utility providers have their own account requirements. Leave enough time to resolve those dependencies rather than arriving with every commitment already fixed.
- CPF is a tax identifier, not residence permission.
- Temporary-visa and granted-residence registration have different clocks.
- Confirm tenant account documents before the lease is final.
Before accepting the home
- Ask the agent whether your identity, income and guarantee are accepted.
- Get the rent, recurring charges, annual taxes and inventory in writing.
- Confirm the actual school campus and the care arrangement.
- Request recent utility bills and the exact tenant-transfer checklist.
Única's document page names RG, CPF and income proof. Its published alternatives do not establish acceptance of every foreign document or income source. Use the rent guide for those agency-specific questions.2,
Separate the national document tasks
| Task | Published national position | What to confirm |
|---|---|---|
| CPF | Foreign residents and nonresidents can apply; official online enrollment is free | Required identity evidence for your case |
| Temporary-visa registration | PF gives 90 days after entry | Applicable visa and appointment jurisdiction |
| Granted-residence registration | PF gives 30 days after DOU publication | Publication date and applicable process |
CPF does not grant residence permission. Federal Police registration normally follows the jurisdiction of your domicile, with specified exceptions. Use the official process for your actual status. Do not replace one clock with the other.7,
Join the service arrangements
Iguá asks for property details and lists a paid transfer process. Its published document list leaves the foreign-tenant combination unclear. CEAC visits need prior booking. Resolve that in the utilities guide before assuming the account can change immediately.1,
Book the school and care discussions in the school guide and healthcare guide. Test the internet if you depend on remote work.
Before the departure date
For a dog or cat, use MAPA's official certificate process and its vaccination, examination and treatment timing. Airline carriage and home permission are separate. The pet guide keeps the correct dates visible.6,
- Keep original documents and the written lease terms accessible.
- Save the actual home, school, care and provider contacts.
- Check the current route and boarding point for arrival errands.
- Keep funds for written obligations rather than an invented city-wide arrival budget.
Use transport and the cost guide for the first-week arrangements. Recheck any dated operating notice close to travel.
Questions people ask
Should I get a CPF before speaking to the agent?
Speak to the agent early about the documents and guarantee it accepts. CPF can be useful because Única and other service processes name it, but it is not residence permission.
Are all Federal Police registration deadlines 90 days?
No. The official service distinguishes temporary-visa registration within 90 days after entry from granted-residence registration within 30 days after DOU publication. Confirm the process for your status.
Can I assume Iguá will accept the lease and passport on arrival?
Its published list does not clearly settle that combination. Ask for the foreign-tenant checklist with the property's account details before signing.
When should I begin a pet's document plan?
Before booking travel. The official timing includes a departure-based rabies wait in applicable cases and treatment or examination windows before CVI issue. Ask the origin authority to sequence them.
