Objectives: To assess the agreement between the data recorded on the pregnant/´s card and the medical records of Primary Care on prenatal care in the National Health Sistem city of Vitória, Espírito Santo (ES), Brazil, to evaluate the adequacy of prenatal care in the county according to the criteria established by the Program for the Humanization of Prenatal and Birth (PHPN) and the World Health Organization (WHO) through the data recorded on the pregnant/´s cards. Methodology: Were interviewed 360 puerperae in three main public hospitals of the city of Vitória-ES, at delivery, from April 2010 to February 2011. Besides the interview, was made a full copy of the pregnant/´s card and the medical records. The information on prenatal care, their women, registered in the records of primary care were collected from January to June 2012. The data were processed and analyzed using SPSS version 18.0, PEPI version 4.0 and Microsoft Excel 2010. Statistical tests of Kappa, Kappa adjusted for prevalence and McNemar were applied to the verification of the consistency and trend of disagreement. Moreover, calculations of absolute and relative frequencies and confidence intervals were performed to analyze the adequacy of the process parameters of prenatal care. Results: The concordance between the records of pregnant/´s cards and medical records of primary care is mostly bad (Kappa<0,20). No puerpera had a process of prenatal care entirely appropriate to WHO criteria, while only 5% of the puerperae had prenatal care in consonance to PHPN. Conclusion: It is recommended that in studies evaluating or monitoring the pregnant card must be used as primary source. The adequacy of the process of prenatal care in the city far from that recommended by national and international criteria. Accordingly, strategies should be adopted to ensure the achievement of the minimum recommended procedures and to establish a pattern of systematic recording of information in the medical records of primary care.
