Brazilian municipalities open student benefit recadastros for 2026
The state of Goiás began the registration and recadastro period for the Passe Livre Estudantil (PLE) on 9 July 2026, covering the Greater Goiânia area and Anápolis. The program provides up to 48 free monthly trips for students in public and private schools. Applications can be submitted online until 30 September 2026, with required documents uploaded to the youth portal, and cards collected at designated Vapt Vupt locations.
In João Pessoa, the municipal government started the mandatory recadastro for the Programa Apoio Universitário on 13 July 2026. The process is conducted entirely online via the "João Pessoa na Palma da Mão" app and runs until 31 July 2026. Students must upload RG, CPF, proof of residence, enrollment declaration, academic record, social sheet and bank details, and electronically accept the term of commitment. Failure to complete the recadastro will result in loss of the benefit.
