Who Is Eligible to Apply for a Digital Asset Virtual Card in Brazil?
Any user residing in Brazil who has completed identity verification with valid documentation is eligible to apply for a digital asset virtual card. Accepted documents include an Identity Card, General Registry, National Registry of Foreigners, a valid National Driver’s License, a valid passport, or a residence permit. All verified documents must have been issued in Brazil.
If your previous verification used a non-compatible document type, you should update your verification with a national ID or a valid driver’s license. Once successfully updated, you will be eligible to apply for the virtual card.
