Brazil will have an electronic public records system to simplify and modernize services provided by notary offices

Summary:

Brazil has over 15,000 courthouses offering digital services, but not all information is accessible nationwide due to lack of unification. To address this issue, the federal government is launching the Electronic Register System (Serp), which will connect all courthouses. The goal is to standardize and modernize access to various services for citizens. The system aims to enable remote attendance for civil record services, property deeds, and other documents through internet-based signature and electronic certification. The system will also provide interoperability and interconnection between existing systems. The Ministry of Human Rights and Citizenship is coordinating the project to ensure vulnerable populations are also included.
