The Social Registry of Households (RSH) is a tool that measures the socioeconomic status of households in Chile and that allows people to apply for various bonds and benefits from the state.
The admission application process can be undertaken by any household member over the age of 18 who does not have an RSH, or by those who wish to create a new record as a result of a change in their household.
Documents Required for the Process
Firstly, being within the Social Household Registry allows family members to receive financial support such as the Golden Wedding Bonus or the Universal Guaranteed Pension (PGU).
If a person feels that he/she is a beneficiary of the above bond but is not in the RSH, they will have to complete an application process which can be done online with Clave Unica.
As per the above, for making the request, the following documents have to be attached:
- Application form (signed by the applicant and all adults making up the household). If you complete the process online, this form is displayed in the same system. You have to download it, print it, complete it and attach it on the same website.
