Brazilian identity card

Common card · No. 393065

Carteira de identidade Nacional (National Identity Card in Portuguese) is the official national identity document in Brazil. It is often informally called carteira de identidade (identity card), "RG" ([ɛʁiˈʒe]) (from Registro Geral, General Registry) or simply identidade. The card contains the name of the bearer, filiation, place of birth, date of birth, signature and thumbprint of the bearer. Other national documents can legally be used as an identity card, such as a federative unit-issued driver's license, passport or, for minors, a birth certificate. Each card has a unique RG number. As of 11 January 2023, the CPF number will be used as the RG number on new identity cards. Brazilian identity cards can be used as travel documents to enter the Mercosur members (Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay) and associated countries (Peru, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador; except Guyana, Suriname and Panama).
