📋 Tender Overview
The new version of the GOV.BR application has updates aimed at making the app easier and more intuitive for People with Disabilities (PCDs) who have the new National Identity Card (CIN). One of the new features is the increase in the number of facial recognition attempts, which increased from five to eight. The initiative was announced this Tuesday (11/11) by the Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services. Currently, GOV.BR has more than 170 million users.
Our management always seeks to include people in the digital transformation, we aim to leave no one behind. This update is just another example of how the administration wants everyone to have access to the benefits of a digital government, said the Deputy Secretary of Digital Government, Luanna Roncaratti. GOV.BR provides access to more than 4,600 federal digital services and more than 8,700 state and municipal services.
Another new feature of the application is aimed at people with visual limitations. From now on, GOV.BR will provide instructions, through accessibility screen readers, for entering contact data in the personal data area. This will make it easier to fill out this information, enabling these people to change contact information in a simplified way, added Roncaratti. Last year, the ministry had also announced innovations aimed at PWDs. It is now possible, for example, to use the rear camera of mobile devices to perform biometric recognition of platform users. In addition to people with disabilities, the measure directly benefits those with old cell phones, those on the autism spectrum, those with neurodegenerative diseases and the elderly. Other updates
In addition to the innovations for PCDs, the new version also brings updates for other users. These include relocating information to more intuitive areas - such as changing the authorized devices area to the privacy section - to incorporating features such as changing passwords and access methods, which were previously restricted to using the platform via browser.
GOV.BR services
Among the services most used by Brazilians are the GOV.BR Subscription, Meu INSS, Meu SUS Digital, Enem, Fies, Digital Work Card and Digital Traffic Card. On the platform, it is also possible to search for services according to the users profile, be it a student, farmer, tourist, entrepreneur or worker.
Most of these services also require a Silver or Gold account. A Silver level account is obtained using facial recognition to match the photo with the National Driving License (CNH). It is also possible to have an account of this level by validating your data in one of the 17 banks accredited on the platform.
To have a Gold account, which allows access to any digital public service and guarantees broad security for citizens, it is necessary to carry out facial recognition based on data from the Electoral Court or the QR Code of the National Identity Card (CIN) or, even, from a Digital Certificate compatible with ICP-Brazil.
