Printing a digital work card is something that attracts the attention of many workers.
This is because, for those who were used to the traditional blue notebook, having just one app seems like too little.
Therefore, the idea of printing the CTPS seems to make sense, but is it possible?
Throughout today's content we will answer this question, in addition to understanding what the Digital CTPS, how to send it to the employer, and much more.
So, if you still have questions about the new features that come with the new CTPS version, don't miss the material below!
What is the digital work card?
For a long time, Brazil relied on the traditional blue booklet to keep employment records.
Thus, any and all records of admission, dismissal and even benefits and retirement were made in the notebook.
Everything was practical, since it was enough to present the card to the employer, or to the body responsible for granting employment or social security benefits.
But, because it is a physical paper document, accidents and losses have always occurred.
As a result, it was common for workers to lose information, which made their lives more complicated when it came time to retire.
Furthermore, the loss of the CTPS also caused a lot of inconvenience, as it was necessary to issue a new copy, which took time and required the worker to travel.
And, if you think that in all cases the new route carried information from the old one, know that this is not quite the case.
It was very common to see cases where the worker issued a new CTPS, and all the old records were lost.
This occurred because the information was sometimes only recorded in the wallet, without an integrated system that guaranteed data security.
Considering the model's shortcomings and the need to achieve practicality and modernity, a new model was created, known as the Digital CTPS.
As the name suggests, the Digital CTPS is the virtual version of the physical booklet.
This means that all information is recorded in the system through the Gov.br Account.
This means that all records are now included in an integrated system, which improves security, practicality and avoids unnecessary bureaucracy.
Furthermore, the advantage of the digital CTPS is that you don't run the risk of losing it, getting it wet, or damaging it.
It is important to say that the digital version came to replace the old one, therefore, currently the booklet is no longer issued.
Do people who don't have a physical version need to print a digital work card?
If you've entered this confusing material without really knowing what the Digital CTPS is about, that problem no longer exists.
This is because, in the previous topic, we presented a basic explanation about the model.
Therefore, it is clear that the Digital CTPS is nothing more than the digital version of the physical CTPS.
Furthermore, it came to replace the old model, so the blue booklet is no longer available.
Therefore, for those who lose the physical version, or are currently entering the job market, only the digital version is available.
However, this does not represent any disadvantage, since the digital version has all the resources and information, in addition to having more functionalities.
However, doubts often arise about its use. After all, do those who only have the digital version need to print a digital work card to use it?
And the answer to this question is no, you do not need to print your virtual CTPS to use it.
You can simply send it as a PDF file for reference and records, and we'll see how to do that later.
In any case, as we have already explained, the digital work card is part of a system integrated by the Gov.br account.
Therefore, it is not necessary to present any physical document to use it, as it is enough to access the system for queries and records.
Is it possible to print a digital work card?
And, after so much talk, we finally get to the point: is it possible to print a digital work card?
As we've seen, this isn't an obligation, so if you just want to print just in case, don't worry about it.
This is because the information is safe in your Gov.br account, and printing would only be used for simple verification.
However, in some cases it may be necessary to print the CTPS in order to use it as proof and/or identity document.
In that case, is it possible?
The good news is that yes, if you want, you can print your Digital CTPS.
To do this, you must access the application and select to print the PDF file of the wallet.
This way, all the information and records in the document will be converted into a PDF file, which will be available for printing.
As we explained, this printout is not used to make any records, but rather for simple checking and/or verification.
This is because, to make records, you need to use the digital CTPS virtual system.
In the next topic we will see how this can be done.
How do I send the CTPS to my employer?
By now you already know that it is possible to print a digital work card.
But we also saw that, if your idea is to print it to use it in the same way you used the old blue notebook, this is not possible.
This is because, with the creation of the virtual CTPS, the method of labor records was also changed.
This way, everything is included in the system digitally, and not in the physical version, much less in a simple printout.
But, if the printout is not valid for this, how do I send the CTPS to the employer?
That's what we'll see now!
The good news is that sending your digital CTPS is very simple.
Start by accessing the app with your gov.br account.
Then, look for the "Send Work Card" button, identified by an upward arrow.
Click the button and select the data you want to send from the CTPS.
Once this is done, simply click on the PDF icon at the bottom of the screen.
This action will create a PDF document, which you can send online to your employer.
It is worth mentioning that this document will be used by the employer to collect information for registration, as everything must be done through the system.
So, now that you know how to print a digital work card and send it to whoever you want, enjoy the convenience of the visual version of the CTPS!
