To find out if a resident is eligible for this indemnity, see the map below and check that the residence is within the area colored in orange.

How to Cancel Registration and Return of Improperly Received Amounts

Those interested in returning the improperly received amount must make a deposit in Vale's bank account. After the deposit, stakeholders must go to one of Vale's Indemnity Registration Center – and provide an identification document with photo – to submit the proof of deposit.

If there is no Indemnity Registration Center in your city, you will need to go to the nearest Center. Upon submission of the proof of deposit and signatures of the required terms, the amounts will no longer be deposited monthly to the accounts of the stakeholders.
