New model establishes the CPF as the only identification number for each Brazilian; find out what the previous models were like
Since January 2024, Brazilian States have started issuing the CIN (National Identity Card) to replace the RG (General Registration). With the new document, the ID is no longer part of the identification document, establishing the CPF (Individual Person Registry) as the only identification number for each Brazilian.
Previously, the deadline for States to begin issuing the new document was November 6, 2023. The president’s government Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) extended the deadline for States to adapt to the new standard until January 11, 2024.
According to the Ministry of Management and Innovation, around 8 million citizens already have the new version of the identity.
Citizens are not required to change documents until February 28, 2032, when the old standard, the RG, loses its validity. The 1st copy and renewal of the document are free, but anyone who needs a 2nd copy must pay a fee stipulated by each State.
Without the General Registry number, the new wallet has a QR Code that allows you to check its authenticity and find out if it has been stolen or lost, using a smartphone.
O Power360 prepared an infographic that shows what the new identity document looks like. See below:
Read below the information that will appear on the new National Identity Card:
- name;
- social name;
- CPF number;
- date of birth;
- birthplace;
- sex;
- nationality;
- document expiration date;
- filiation (name of the citizen’s father and mother);
- body responsible for issuing the document;
- place of issuance of the document;
- date of issue of the document; It is
- name, signature and position of the person responsible for issuing the document.
In May 2023, the federal government had decided that it would do away with the fields referring to sex and social name. However, he backtracked, opting to maintain both camps.
The identity also has a 3×4 photo of both sides of the document, which also includes the QR Code and an MRZ code (Machine Readable Zone), issued in passports.
Citizens also have the possibility to enter optional information on the back of the CIN, such as:
- blood type and Rh factor;
- organ donor status; or
- specific health condition.
The document model will be the same throughout the country and will have a physical and digital version available (find out how to obtain the new identity here).
According to the federal government, the exchange for the CIN is important because the document has a national standard and the CPF as a unique number. Before, people could have one ID per State (the way the General Registry number was created varied in each Federation Unit), now, with a single number, the possibility of fraud is less.
In this way, people’s data will be unified in government records, facilitating identification processes. To the Power360the Ministry of Management stated that standardization should allow public administration to monitor “the entire life cycle of citizens”which, in theory, could result in a proactive offering of services or benefits.
