Hi.  Sorry to hear that.  I think that you mean "cartório".  And no, there's no reason for the cartório to report this action to the Federal Police, since no laws have been broken. 

If you're ever in a situation that would require you to renew your CRNM -- if, for example, you spent over two continuous years outside Brazil and your residency lapsed -- there might be some difficulty in getting it back, since the relationship on which it was based no longer exists.  But assuming that the "validade" of your CRNM is "indeterminada", that situation probably will not arise.  Best of luck to you.

Thank you for your response it is indeterminada. This is a great goup very informative and helpful with positive help. 

In my view, indeed, Abthree's response is 100% accurate. I understand you meant "Cartório", and not Correios,  and yes, they have no legal obligation to inform neither Federal Police nor Ministério da Justiça and they will not do it. It is a good idea, though, to have your CRNM card copied and that copy notarized (fazer uma cópia autenticada), at a notary (cartório de notas). You must not lose your CRNM, because if you have to renew it, then you might have a situation. All the best
