How does digital identity work?

Think of the digital ID as a common document. In other words, it is nothing more than your own identity document but, instead of being on paper, it is “inside” your cell phone. In other words, it is a digital representation of your document printed on paper.

First, you need to download the app directly from the Play Store (Android) and App Store (iOS) and sign up with a biometric reader or 6-digit password. It is worth remembering that installation is very simple and very similar to installing any other application. In other words, they have no mystery.

After registration is completed, if it has not already been done, the system will immediately notify the closest identification post in your region to collect biometric data and photos. The online authentication system is very intuitive and its screen is user-friendly to make it easier for even the most layman.

So, after carrying out all these procedures, a new number is generated with 9 digits, which is the DNI. This way, this number will represent your official identification valid throughout the Brazilian territory and accepted in the same way as the printed ID. Your new document can be used at any time.

In fact, the digital document is equally valid as the paper version and this means that you no longer need to feel obliged to carry the paper document, although this is not recommended. This is because the cell phone can sometimes run out of battery and so the ID on paper is security for situations like this.
