Brazil Launches Digital ENEM High School Certification as Some Eligible Users Face Blocks

The Inep portal issues a QR‑code‑validated PDF through Gov.br with the Instituto Federal de São Paulo serving as the initial certifier.

Overview

  • The system went live on March 2, allowing ENEM 2025 participants to request a high school completion certificate online.
  • Eligibility requires being at least 18 on the first test day, scoring at least 450 in each subject area, and earning 500 or more in the essay.
  • Applications are filed on Inep’s Digital Certification portal using a Gov.br login, and approved certificates are generated within minutes.
  • The document has nationwide validity as formal proof of secondary education for university enrollment, public job exams, and employment.
  • G1 reports that some candidates are flagged as not eligible despite meeting score thresholds, particularly those registered as 'concluding high school,' after earlier provisional attestations were used before the portal’s launch.
