Requirements for Navy competition and age range
To participate, the candidate must be between 18 years old and less than 22 years old by June 30, 2027, and must present a high school completion certificate recognized by the Ministry of Education.
The age requirement, although often summarized as “up to 21 years old,” follows this technical cutoff defined in the announcement.
Other criteria are also mandatory throughout the selection process.
These include a minimum height of 1.54 meters and a maximum of 2 meters, regular status with the Electoral Justice, and for men, compliance with Military Service.
The Navy also conducts background checks and conduct analysis, stages that can eliminate candidates in later phases.
How the test for the naval infantry competition will be
The first stage of the selection is the Education Exam, consisting of 50 multiple-choice questions, equally divided between Portuguese Language and Mathematics.
Each subject has significant weight, as the candidate must answer at least ten questions correctly in each to proceed in the competition.
The structure of the test can be summarized as follows:
Subject | Number of questions | Minimum score
Portuguese | 25 | 10 correct
Mathematics | 25 | 10 correct
The evaluation will last three hours and serves as an initial filter, gathering candidates with the best performance for the subsequent phases, which tend to be more demanding from a physical and psychological standpoint.
Physical test and elimination stages of the Navy
After passing the written test, the qualified candidates advance to a series of elimination stages that include health inspection, psychological evaluation, verification of biographical data, and physical fitness test.
This set aims to measure not only knowledge but also the ability to adapt to military routine.
In the physical test, the level of demand follows traditional Navy standards.
Among the exercises required are running, swimming, push-ups, and sit-ups, with specific indices for men and women.
The 3,200-meter run, for example, must be completed in up to 18 minutes and 30 seconds by male candidates and in up to 20 minutes and 30 seconds by female candidates.
Training course and distribution of vacancies
The approved candidates enter the Marine Corps Soldier Training Course, lasting approximately 17 weeks and in an internship regime.
During this period, training takes place in specialized military units, focusing on physical preparation, discipline, and technical training.
The distribution of vacancies considers two main training centers:
Training location | Number of vacancies
Rio de Janeiro (CIAMPA) | 1,440
Brasília (CIAB) | 240
After completing the course, the military personnel are assigned to different regions of the country, including cities such as Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, Salvador, Natal, Belém, Manaus, and São Paulo, according to the Navy’s needs.
Salary of naval infantryman and initial benefits
During the training phase, students receive a scholarship of R$ 1,424.26.
After completing the course and being incorporated as a naval infantry soldier, the initial salary increases to R$ 2,505.10, including additional benefits provided in the Armed Forces’ salary structure.
The career allows for advancement over time, with the possibility of specialization and retention based on the institution’s internal criteria.
This model combines technical training with initial stability, attracting candidates seeking entry into military public service.
How to register for the Navy competition
Applications must be made exclusively online, through the official portal of the Brazilian Navy, within the deadline set in the current schedule.
The candidate needs to fill out the electronic form, generate the application fee, and monitor all updates directly in the system.
The participation fee is R$ 40, and the registration period remains open until April 10, 2026, according to the most recent update released by the institution.
Upon completing the registration, it is essential to check the provided information and keep the receipt, as any inconsistencies may compromise participation in the subsequent stages.
