e‑Título App Accepted as ID for Brazil’s Oct. 25 Second‑Round Vote

Overview

• Official guidance published on Oct. 24, 2026 confirms polling stations will accept the e‑Título as identification only if the app contains the voter’s photo and the voter completed biometric recadastramento.
• Voters must download the free e‑Título from the App Store or Google Play, enter personal data that exactly matches their last Justice Electoral record, create a password, answer security questions, and may be asked to complete facial recognition for validation.
• Anyone without a validated photo or biometric record can use any official photo ID in physical or digital form, including identity card, identity social, passport, professional card, reservist certificate, work card, or CNH, and mesários are instructed to accept these.
• The app lets voters find their exact polling place, justify absence using phone geolocation between 8:00 and 17:00 on election day, submit a justificative with supporting documents up to 60 days after the vote, and issue electoral certificates and payment guides for debts.
• The e‑Título replaces the printed voter registration and aims to streamline election tasks for voters and poll workers, but mismatches between submitted data and electoral records will block app validation and may force voters to show an alternative ID.
