Identity on Blockchain in Brazil
The Brazilian government plans that, starting in 2032, the National Identity Card (CIN) will be the only valid document, using blockchain technology.
The Brazilian government's decision to implement the National Identity Card (CIN) as the only valid document by 2032, using blockchain technology, represents a milestone in the digitization and security of personal data. Blockchain promises greater immunity against fraud, transparency, and decentralized control, reducing counterfeiting and improving access to public services. However, this innovation also raises debates about privacy, data governance, and risks of the centralization of state control over citizens' digital identity.
