I'm American and have never lived in Brazil. Can I still get a CPF?

Yes, it works. The CPF (individual taxpayer registry) does not require you to live in Brazil. Many people across the Americas get a CPF from outside the country to invest, buy property, or open a company here. For those living abroad, the request is made in two ways: through the Brazilian consulate or embassy in your country (using the e-Consular system), or through an attorney-in-fact here in Brazil who handles everything for you. TF inter takes care of this request for clients throughout the Americas. We organize the documents, translate what's needed, and follow through until the CPF is issued. This way you avoid back-and-forth and start your project in Brazil without a headache.
