The National Council of Directors of Civil and Criminal Identification Institution (CONADI) published a statement on its page about the investigation launched by the CNJ into the agreement between ARPEN and DataPrev
COMMUNICATION – CONADI
The CNJ article investigates an agreement between notary offices and Dataprev that could yield up to R$ 1 billion to the private company published in the Folha de São Paulo newspaper on January 21th, 2024, brought to light serious facts about an agreement that the Association of Natural Persons Registrars of Brasil (Arpen Brasil) intends to sign an agreement with the Social Security Information Technology Company (Dataprev), in addition, involving a company called Confia. According to the article, Confia is offering services typically related to the civil identity of Brazilian citizens to banks, insurance companies and other market sectors.
As all managers know, on October 24th, 2023, CONADI, Arpen Brasil and ON-SERP reached an agreement mediated by the CNJ in which Arpen Brasil committed to taking the necessary measures so that the communication from institutions representing the Civil Registry would be more precise in relation to the terminology adopted with regard to the Civil Registry Electronic Authentication System (IdRC) of ON-SERP to avoid confusing citizens in relation to the services under the responsibility of the official civil registry bodies. civil and criminal identification.
At the time, the leaders of these entities categorically stated that their objective was not to launch an “identity”, which has proven to be untrue. They even omitted that they had already been widely publicizing this proposal in institutional publications from civil registry entities.
After the agreement was signed, the CNJ published Provision No. 157 of 13/11/2023, which has been used by Arpen as a legal basis for the invasion of the powers of the official civil identification bodies. This is a misleading approach, as the provision leaves no doubt that the use of the IdRC is intended exclusively for authentication of access to the ON-RCPN electronic system.
The Note of clarification and repudiation (https://interid.org/nota-de-esclarecimento-e-repudio/) published by Célio Ribeiro, president of the International Institute of Identification – InterID, had already raised great concern among the directors of the bodies civil and criminal identification officers, but the information linked in the Folha de São Paulo article forces us to accuse Arpen Brasil of non-compliance with the agreement established on 24/10/2023 and inform that we consider it no longer valid until the facts are duly clarified and the CNJ investigative process mentioned in the matter is concluded.
