I went to the post office (Correio) and started the application for CPF. They asked me:

Passport
Birth certificate
Proof of address
Protocol with RNM (Probably this is not mandatory)

Paid 7 Reais, got a receipt and asked me to finish the process in the Receita Federal.

In the Receita Federal (without an appointment) showed the receipt and my documents again. They confirmed everything was ok and they send the CPF number within 24 hours by e-mail.

As a proof of address they accepted a letter written by my partner, with her information, address and verified in a Cartorio.
