Digital Signature

Has anyone had experience of this new facility through the gov.br app? I only started using it a few months ago, and it seems really good.


I think it would only be available to permanent visa holders, but might be very useful to those needing to sign documents (even public powers of attorney), without resorting to visiting a cartorio in person, queuing, and pay a fee. It is free, and all done electronically.


If you need to sign anything, you could even do it from abroad, which means that collecting a CRNM for example, may not need an immediate return visit.

Good question.  Would also love to have digital signatures deployed more widely.


And a related implication that would affect future deployment success or failure - has anyone heard of gov.br being hacked or infected with ransomware? 


The technology behind digital signatures is very simple but if any part of the system is vulnerable to attacks, then I suspect that there will be hiccups in the future.
