Brazil has launched its new national identity program powered by blockchain technology, with Rio de Janeiro, Goiás, and Paraná being the first states to issue this. Over 214 million Brazilians will soon be using blockchain technology for digital identity.
Rio de Janeiro, Goiás, and Paraná will be the first states to issue identification documents on-chain through a private blockchain developed by Serpro, Brazil’s national data processing service. The whole country will be able to issue identity documents through blockchain technology by early November 2023.
The local Brazilian government has stated that the national ID project is crucial in targeting organized crime, allowing government sectors to work together by offering a simpler way to access services and simplifying administrative records. A similar initiative was disclosed by Argentina, which would allow residents to access identity documents through a digital wallet.
