Overview
- Election authorities reiterated on Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2026, that first-time downloads and activations of the e-Título app are only allowed through Oct. 3, 2026, and cannot be issued on voting day.
- The e-Título serves as a photo ID at the polling place only for electors who completed biometric registration and whose photo appears in the app.
- Voters without a photo in e-Título or without biometric registration must bring an official photo ID such as RG, CNH, passport, reservist certificate, carteira de trabalho, or an equivalent professional card.
- Beyond identification, the app provides polling-place lookup, on‑day absence justification using the phone’s geolocation during voting hours and post‑election uploads within 60 days, issuance of certificates of electoral discharge and records, and payment of electoral debts.
- First access to the free Android and iOS app requires personal data, identity-question verification and a six‑digit password, and regional gaps in biometric coverage mean many voters should check the app or carry a physical ID to avoid problems on election day.
