Soon all Brazilians will have to issue a digital identity card. The new unified national document will contain all data for each citizen. The new digital identity, which will include important changes in terms of security, data unification and even use for travel, will have the CPF as a single record, merging several Brazilian documents into a single version.
With the new feature, the CPF can be used as a number in legal documents (birth, marriage and death certificates), as identification in the INSS (NIT), in the work card, in the CNH and others.
Authenticity can be verified using a QR-code that works even offline. By enabling electronic validation, the document is considered more secure and drastically reduces document forgery by fraudsters and fraudsters. There are no fees for issuing the new digital ID.
When will the new ID come into effect?
The expected deadline is 12 months from publication, which was March 1st, for institutions and bodies to implement the adequacy of systems and procedures. Agencies and institutions have 24 months to make changes so that systems and databases share CPF information.
