Registro Nacional de Estrangeiros

For other uses, see RNE.

The Registro Nacional de Estrangeiros (RNE, National Registry of Foreigners), known since 2018 as Registro Nacional Migratório (RNM, National Migratory Registry) due to the New Immigration Law (No. 13445) enacted on May 24th, 2017 by Brazilian former ex-president Michel Temer, is, next to the Registro Diplomático (RD, Diplomatic Registry),[1] the main identification registry provided by Brazil to foreign citizens in Brazilian territory. The Cédula de Identidade de Estrangeiro (CIE, Foreigner's Identity Card), known since 2018 as Carteira de Registro Nacional Migratório (CRNM, National Migratory Registry Card) was instituted as its result by Brazilian former ex-president Getúlio Vargas on May 4th, 1938 through the Decree-Law No. 406. The New Immigration Law lists several cases in which foreign citizens in Brazilian territory can apply for their Migratory National Registry by faculty or by obligation (most of the cases involves immigration, work or residency for undefined time). Citizens with low income, such as applicants for the Provisional Document of Migratory National Registry (refugees, asylum seekers, unaccompanied minors, victims of human trafficking and human slavery in particularly vulnerable conditions), may apply for its fee exemption.[2][3]

It follows the bearer's photo, signature, right thumb fingerprint, name, date of birth, filiation, nationality, date of issue, date of expiry, Migratory National Registry Number and CPF Number.

Applicants have to fill out a form and provide documentation including travel document, visa granted by a Brazilian Embassy and birth certificate (or marriage certificate, when married or divorced).[4] Documents shall be translated by a sworn translator.[5]

History

edit

The alien's ID was previously known as modelo 19, created in 1938 by former Brazilian president Getúlio Vargas during the Third Brazilian Republic.[6] It was enacted by executive order law No. 406 on May 4, 1938.[3] It required all foreigners under 60 years old to register and those under 60 were exempted from it.[6][7] Records of those registrations are available at the Brazilian National Archives.[6]

The police was responsible for registering the foreigners on ports of disembarkation and police stations.[3][7]

Due to the Equality Statute between Brazil and Portugal, Portuguese nationals are issued a Brazilian identity card, citing their nationality and the statute.[8][9]
