Acre government completes 4,000‑card identity drive in remote Amazon towns

The state of Acre finished its "Identidade para Dignidade" mutirão, issuing 4,000 new Carteira de Identidade Nacional (CIN) documents across the isolated municipalities of Santa Rosa do Purus, Jordão, Marechal Thaumaturgo and Porto Walter. Coordinated by the Acre Civil Police’s Institute of Identification together with the State Secretariat of Justice and Public Security, the effort delivered 3,970 cards within about 30 days, leaving only 30 pending in Porto Walter. Police delegate‑general Pedro Buzolin said the operation "guarantees basic civil documentation and strengthens the State’s presence in the most isolated Amazon regions." Logistical challenges included air and river transport, limited connectivity and adverse weather.

Meanwhile, the Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services announced that the national CIN program has reached 55 million issued documents. The milestone was marked at the CertForum‑ID 2026 in Brasília, where Minister Esther Dweck highlighted the system’s enhanced security, biometric technology and its role in fostering citizenship and national sovereignty. Officials noted the unified database’s benefits for public safety and digital governance.
