In a ceremony held this Wednesday (23) in Brasília, the federal government launched the National Identity Card. The ceremony was attended by President Jair Bolsonaro (PL).
The main objective of the new document will be to unify the identity card in all Brazilian states and in the Federal District.
Check out the changes below:
unique registration number
The new document model adopted by the government will have the CPF as a unique registration number. Thus, the identification will be the same throughout the country.
Currently, in case of need for a new issue in another state, the citizen receives a new registration number. In the old model, it would be possible to have up to 27 ID numbers.
digitization
The National Identity Card will have a physical and virtual version, in addition to allowing verification by QR Code, even without the use of the internet.
international document
Another novelty is that the national identity card will have an international standard, allowing travelers to use it outside the country. The document will have a MRZ (Machine Readable Zone) code, the same code issued in passports.
How will the broadcast work?
The government has not yet explained how the process for requesting the new RG will work, but added that the issuance – both of the first version and after 10 years – will be free.
What is the reason for the changes?
According to the government, the novelties seek to modernize the country and reduce fraud, especially through the unification of the identity number.
