There comes a certain age when you need to record two numbers, your RG and your CPF. The CPF, as it is most used, is the first and the second is the RG. Now, the new proposal is to unify all identifications in a single number, in the CPF.
Because, the RG was the responsibility of each state, so each Brazilian citizen could have 27 different numbers. The idea, therefore, is to unify the identification process to ensure greater ease and security for all Brazilians.
With that, in addition to this change, the RG has a new and digital face. Now it also accompanies QR Code to identify authenticity, being quite a breakthrough in terms of security, since, at any time and from any place, it is possible to verify if the document that the person is carrying is TRUE.
Every RG is valid for 10 years. Some people, however, were slow to renew because of the high value. Now, as it is a single document and the right of every citizen, it becomes free.
Those who have the old card and it is still on the expiry date will not have any complications. It remains a valid identification document throughout the national territory.
Now, for those over 60 years of age, the old RG has expired. It is necessary to fetch a new document. To do this, look for the places in your city that are responsible for issuing. Usually in places that are the responsibility of state agencies and Public Security Secretariats.
