See how to issue the new grace identity in Paraná

Residents of Ponta Grossa and all Paraná who still use the old General Register (RG) can now apply for the new National Identity Card (CIN). The document is gradually replacing the previous model and gathers personal information into a unique standard of identification valid throughout Brazil. The first issue is free and can be requested via the internet or through face-to-face assistance, depending on the situation of the citizen.

Despite the change, those who own the old RG do not need to run to replace it immediately. The document remains valid until 2032, allowing the population to make the update gradually. However, anticipating issuance can facilitate the updating of personal data and avoid disturbances in situations that require identification.

The new identity can also be important for families who are arranging documents for school enrollments and re-enrollments, taking tests, travelling and accessing different public and private services.

What changes with the new National Identity Card?

One of the main changes of the National Identity Card is the use of the CPF as a unique identification number. Unlike the old RG, which could have different numbers according to the state of issue, the CIN establishes a national standard.

The measure seeks to reduce the possibility of duplicate registrations and increase security in the identification of citizens.

The new document also features QR Code, which allows you to verify its authenticity through a specific application. In addition to the physical version, it is possible to obtain the digital identity through the gov.br application after receiving the document.

How to apply for the new identity on the Paraná?

In Paraná, the procedure for issuing the National Identity Card depends on the cadastral situation of the citizen.

Those who already have a RG or CIN issued in the state can request the new document through the Internet, through the system of the Identification Institute of Paraná. If the registration is very old or needs biometric update, the system may indicate the need for face-to-face care.

Those who do not have an identity issued in the Paraná must make the appointment for face-to-face care in a unit of the Poupatempo Paraná or the Identification Institute.

To request the document, the citizen can access the official channels:

How much does it cost and what is the validity of the new identity?
