How do I check if a carta contemplada is real?

Call the administrator with the group and share number. Confirm the credit, outstanding balance, share status and whether the transfer is allowed. Never rely only on what the seller says.

Is it safe to buy a carta contemplada online?

Yes, as long as you verify the letter with the administrator, check the company's CNPJ and reputation, and require a formal contract. The channel (online or in person) matters less than the verification process.

Do I need a notary to buy a carta contemplada?

It depends on the administrator and the contract. Many cases require notarised signatures, but that's an extra formalisation — the real approval always comes from the administrator.

What should I do if I suspect a scam?

Don't make any payment. Check the CNPJ on the Receita Federal site, look at Reclame Aqui and call the administrator. If a scam is confirmed, file a police report.

A Liberty Carta checklist to buy a carta contemplada without falling for a scam: administrator, documents, contract, safe payment and a clear cost.

Scenario	What to check	Best next step
Before the proposal	Updated statement, group, share, credit and outstanding balance.	Validate the data with the administrator.
Before payment	Contract, CNPJ, destination account and transfer rule.	Tie payment to formal transfer milestones.
After approval	New holder registration and credit release.	Keep administrator documents and proof of payment.

Negotiating a letter?

Before paying, check the statement, holder, outstanding balance and official transfer rules with the responsible administrator.

Open the safety checklist

A carta contemplada is a high-value financial asset — and, like any valuable asset, it attracts scammers. The good news: buying safely is simple when you follow a verification process. This guide shows exactly what to check before paying anything.

The 3 pillars of a safe purchase

Verification: confirm the letter directly with the administrator.
Formalisation: a cessão contract with full details and notarised signatures where required.
Conditional payment: money only changes hands tied to the transfer approval.

Checklist before paying

Ask for the group and share number and call the administrator to confirm it exists and its status.
Confirm the outstanding balance and that the share is free of pending issues or blocks.
Verify the intermediary company's CNPJ on the Receita Federal site.
Check its reputation on Google and Reclame Aqui.
Require a formal contract with every figure: credit, balance, ágio and costs.
Confirm the transfer is done by the administrator — never 'on the side'.

Classic scam signs: pressure to pay fast ('this price today only'), a price well below market, refusal to provide a CNPJ, or a promise to transfer without going through the administrator. When in doubt, don't pay.

How a legitimate transfer works

A legitimate cessão always goes through the consortium administrator. The process involves reviewing the buyer, documents from both parties and the official formalisation of the transfer. A notary may be involved for signature recognition, but it does not replace the administrator's approval.

Verify the letter and balance with the administrator.
Credit and document review of the buyer.
Sign the cessão contract between the parties.
Submit to the administrator for approval.
Completion: the share officially passes to the buyer.

Serious companies give you time to verify everything. Transparency about the process and willingness to show documents are the best trust indicators.

Liberty Carta organises this verification before the deal advances: checking the share, explaining the figures, the documentation and the next steps of the cessão. The final approval always remains with the responsible administrator.
