with the central agency, will be responsible for implementing and updating CANRIC, controlling
the allocation of RIC numbers, transmitting the identification details gathered in order to
allocate the RIC number to the central agency, and issuing the identity card containing the RIC
number.
Under the coordination of the Ministry of Justice, the Civil Identification Registry was created
with the aim of becoming an important tool for the guaranteeing of social rights and the
protection of property. Its introduction will make rapid and secure identification of any
Brazilian citizen possible, which will help to prevent fraud and resolve civil disputes. The new
identity card is also designed to modernise the country’s Civil Identification System, guarantee
the uniqueness of each citizen in a national database, strengthen relations between society and
government and non-governmental organisations, contribute to the promotion of social and
digital inclusion, and widen preventive public security measures.
The proposed project envisages the issue of 150 million RIC numbers (generated after
certification of the biometric uniqueness of fingerprints in a nationwide automated, centralised
and integrated system) inserted in new identity cards using modern features of identification
technology such as microprocessor chips and digital signatures. Funding of the new process
of civil identification will be possible through public financing, an issuing fee, the aid of state
identification bodies, and the use of digital certification services. Public/private cooperation
agreements may also be signed.
With the new system of civil identification, the registers will cease to be regionalised, as is
currently the case with the Register General (RG), and will form a centralised databank containing
fingerprint details of every citizen. This system will be administered by the Ministry of Justice,
through the National Identification Institute of the Federal Police, and will contain additional
information such as a photograph, a digital signature, the numbers of other documents and
personal details such as height and eye colour.
The implementation of the new identity card is a nationwide project which will affect every
Brazilian citizen.
Following implementation of the Civil Identity Register, the project will become an ongoing
process. The participating agencies of the National System of Civil Identification Registration
(SINRIC) will have uniform physical and technological structures, and appropriate human
resources, throughout the country, guaranteeing the same quality of service to the public
irrespective of location.
The adoption of the Civil Identity Register will deliver innumerable benefits to society by
guaranteeing uniqueness between the citizen and his document, using automated fingerprint
identification. This measure will strengthen those public and private services that require
identification of the citizen, contributing effectively to the reduction of fraud against individuals,
companies and government bodies.
In addition to the introduction of the Civil Identity Register, the RIC Project proposes the
adoption of a new identity document with hi-tech specifications, putting Brazil in the vanguard
