The New INSS Rule Defines When Facial Biometric Data Becomes Mandatory, Who Needs to Register, and How Meu INSS Confirms Compliance, Focusing on Retirees and BPC Without Automatic Cancellations for Those Already Receiving Benefits
The new INSS rule establishes the collection of facial biometric data as a requirement for the granting and maintenance of benefits, with mandatory use starting in November for new grants of BPC, according to the decree that regulated the law. For retirees, implementation is gradual, and the government prioritizes utilizing existing databases, such as Driver’s License, TSE, and Federal Police, along with bank registrations and Meu INSS.
According to the own explanatory material, there is no immediate cancellation for those who are already receiving benefits. The guidance is to check in Meu INSS whether facial biometric data is active and, if necessary, update it through official channels. The new INSS rule aims to increase security and reduce fraud without imposing undue barriers for retirees or BPC beneficiaries.

How to Check in Meu INSS if Your Facial Biometric Data is Active
In the Meu INSS app, access a service that requires verification, such as unlocking a loan.
If facial capture is successful, your facial biometric data is good; if it fails, you may need to update it.
This quick verification avoids lines and confirms compliance with the new INSS rule.
Additionally, retirees and BPC beneficiaries can prove life through multiple events recognized by the system, including banking transactions with fingerprint biometric data and health services.
Official Ways to Update Facial Biometric Data
If the system indicates a pending issue, there are three accepted routes:
Update biometric data at the Regional Electoral Court for use in Meu INSS
Issue the National Identity Card with biometric data collection
Renew the Driver’s License with facial biometric data registered
The recommendation is to choose the most accessible route and maintain consistent data, avoiding discrepancies in the application of the new INSS rule.
