The new National Identity Card (CIN) has arrived to modernize the identification system for Brazilian citizens, integrating data securely and reducing fraud.
This document uses the CPF as a unique identification number, facilitating access to public services and social benefits.
Available in physical (paper or card) and digital format, the CIN is an advancement that promotes security and simplifies the lives of Brazilians.
What is the National Identity Card (CIN)?
The CIN is the new official identification document, which standardizes the identification number in Brazil, using the CPF.
Unlike the old RG, which allowed multiple registrations of the same person in different states, the CIN ensures that the citizen has a single number valid throughout the national territory.
Furthermore, the CIN is available in three versions: paper, card and digital. Each offers options that meet the different needs of citizens, always ensuring data security and integrity.
CIN Objectives
The creation of CIN aims to:
- Unify Identification: Eliminate the use of multiple ID numbers and standardize identification in Brazil through the CPF.
- Reduce Fraud: Integrate citizen data and reduce fraud in public documents.
- Facilitating Access to Public Services: CIN is a gateway to government services, including social benefits.
- LGPD Compliance: CIN respects the General Data Protection Law, guaranteeing the security and privacy of information.
How does CIN issuance work?
The CIN issuance process is simple and can be done at government units throughout the country.
To issue your CIN, simply go to the nearest identification office with documents such as your ID, CPF and proof of residence.
The document can be requested in physical or digital format, with the digital version available in the app GOV.BR.
The first paper issue is free, which makes it easier for all citizens to access.

CIN brings a series of technological innovations to ensure greater safety and practicality in daily use.
