The new National Identity Card (CIN) was one of the main highlights of the National Symposium “4 Years of e-Notarization,” held in São Paulo last Friday, August 23. During the event, the General Coordinator of Civil Identification from the Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services (MGI), Eduardo Lacerda, presented the innovations and advances brought about by the implementation of the CIN. So far, over 11.1 million new cards have been issued in 24 states and the Federal District, highlighting the rapid adoption of this important document throughout the country.
Lacerda emphasized the transformative impact of the CIN on the Brazilian identification system. “The CIN is not just a document with a unique number based on the CPF, available in digital format and filled with security features. It is a Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) that will revolutionize civil identification in Brazil,” said Lacerda. He also compared the potential of the CIN to India’s identification infrastructure, which has significantly contributed to that country’s GDP growth, and highlighted that Brazil wasted R$ 104 billion in 2021 due to analog identification processes.
The construction of this DPI based on the CIN database will allow Brazil to take a more proactive stance in its relations with citizens. “Public service becomes active, as the administration already knows what rights you have. There is data coordination behind this infrastructure. This will be our future,” Lacerda added.
The Executive President of InterID, Célio Ribeiro, emphasized the importance of the CIN as a milestone in Brazil’s security and citizenship. “The National Identity Card is not just an identification document; it is the foundation for a more secure, efficient, and inclusive system. The CIN accompanies citizens at all stages of life, from birth, and is a crucial element in preventing fraud and ensuring everyone has access to their rights. The creation of such a robust infrastructure represents a significant advancement for Brazil, bringing modernization and security to the identification system,” Ribeiro stated.
The CIN is already available in 24 states and the Federal District, with Amapá and Roraima being the only states still in the implementation process. InterID remains committed to supporting the evolution of the identification system in Brazil, promoting initiatives that ensure inclusion and security for all citizens.
