Overview
- Governor Jerônimo Rodrigues sent a bill to Bahia’s state assembly seeking to rename the document to the Carteira de Identidade Nacional and requested urgent processing.
- The proposal sets state fees at R$62.45 for paper issuance, R$62.45 for reprints, and R$5.66 for biometric or biographic validation by legal entities, with the first issuance remaining free.
- Bahia has produced the new CPF-based identity since 2024, and the bill aims to formalize local nomenclature and charges.
- Under federal rules, the old RG stays valid until 2032 as Brazil transitions to a single identifier using the CPF with physical and digital versions available.
- Fees and procedures differ by state, with Rondônia listing a second-copy cost of R$162.69 and requiring prior scheduling and civil documents for issuance.
