Brazilians living in Lisbon have begun receiving the first identity cards issued through a pilot project for citizens residing abroad. The initiative, a partnership between the Federal District Civil Police, the Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, aims to integrate RG and CPF numbers and simplify access to Brazilian government digital services. The new card will replace the old paper version by 2032, with a priority deadline of 2028 for those receiving social benefits. The service is currently available by appointment via the E-Consular portal, with plans to expand to Paraguay in June.
