Recently, the federal government made a series of changes to important documents for Brazilian citizens, such as the Identity Card (RG) and the National Driver's License (CNH). Through these changes, the objective is to bring more practicality and security to citizens, since in addition to more advanced verification models, will also be able to rely on digital versions that have the same validity as the physical.

In general, the new versions of the two documents may have even more uses, which drew even more attention from interested parties. However, the process for them to be in all Brazilian territory can be a little time consuming, since they will be applied gradually. Even when it comes to the new RG, some states are already issuing it, while others may only implement it in 2023.
the new RG
Now, the Identity Card must gather the main information of an individual, such as blood type, if he is a blood donor, etc. In addition, it will have a unique identification through the CPF. Therefore, regardless of the state in which it is made, it will only have one number for each citizen, which was not possible until recently, since there was no standardization between states.
In addition, it will be following an international standard, with an MRZ (Machine Readable Zone) code also present in passports. Soon, it can be presented as an official document on international trips, especially through Mercosur countries. However, despite so many changes, they will continue to be issued by the Public Security Secretariats of the states.
The new driver's license
When it comes to CNH, drivers can immediately notice some changes related to affective affiliation and social name. It will even receive a new design, where its colors simulate those present in the country's flag, in addition to the addition of holograms and details that can only be seen with ultraviolet light. In this way, it is possible to guarantee more authenticity and safety for drivers.
