Applicants must submit RG, CPF, proof of 4th grade education, and a clean criminal record certificate issued within 90 days to the Polícia Federal. A medical and psychological exam from an approved clinic is also mandatory before the 180-hour training course. The full process takes 45 to 60 days after submission.

The Ministério do Trabalho e Emprego sets the standard at 44 hours per week for vigilantes, with a maximum of 12 hours per shift followed by 36 hours rest. Annual leave is 30 days after 12 months of service, plus an additional 1/3 salary bonus paid in advance. Overtime above 44 hours must be paid at 50% extra or compensated with time off.

Receita Federal exempts monthly income up to R$2,112 from income tax in 2026, so a R$2,200 salary incurs 7.5% tax only on the amount above R$2,112 after deductions. INSS contribution is 7.5% on the full salary, deducted monthly from the paycheck. Annual tax declaration is required if total income exceeds R$30,000.
