A new identity card can be requested via cell phone; see how it works

The first physical copy of the new identity is free throughout the country. The document uses the Individual Taxpayer Registry (CPF) as a unique identification number and has security mechanisms, such as a QR Code, in addition to a digital version.

Scheduling to issue the card can be done via cell phone, but data collection requires in-person attendance. The rules for obtaining the document vary depending on the state: in some places, it is not necessary to make an appointment in advance, while in the majority you need to choose a date and time for the service.

The new identity also allows other personal data to be gathered into a single document. Information that can be included includes: voter registration number, National Driving License (CNH) and Social Integration Program (PIS) number.

CIN is integrated into the Gov.br platform, which facilitates citizens' access to public services available online.

The replacement of the old ID with the new card will be completed by 2032. Until then, the old identity documents remain valid, and there is no need to exchange them immediately.
