Brazilian Identity Card (ID)

From October 2010 the Brazilian Government will start to issue a new model of ID in Brazil, which will have ten digits (a sequence of nine numbers plus a check digit).


Currently, each state adopts a different numbering systems and its own emission, which leads to fraud and enables one person to make more documents. The intention is to exchange all documents - are 150 million today - up to ten years.

The model is similar to a bank card with chip - which include personal data, Individual taxpayers number and voter registration. Furthermore, the document will also have a fingerprint adapted to AFIS (Automated Fingerprint Identification System). Thus, in any establishment in the country, you can compare the digital and see if the document is indeed in the hand of its owner.
