Hi all, thanks for the info here over the recent months. I’ve been following these updates to get an idea on how long it will take to get a new CRNM ID card from the Polícia Federal in Brazil.

Mine was a renewal of the expiring old style RNE card which had an expiry date in June 2024.

March 2024 was the earliest I could go to the Policia Federal to request the CRNM card, as you can only do this 90 days before expiry of the RNE.

I booked an appointment (needed in São Paulo to provide documents, but appointment not needed (São Paulo) to collect ID card when ready).

I provided necessary documents and received a A4 protocol printout which serves as official ID during the CRNM process.

I started checking online for progress the same day...

When the page loads, immediately refresh it. The page you first see might be cached on your PC / phone. When you refresh, you download the latest data from the DPF portal. You shouldn’t get an ‘expired’ error if you change the language as you’ve refreshed the initial page.

This is the first status I saw on the portal the date I provided documents.

20/03/2024 - O requerimento está sendo processado.

Nothing changed for 2 months, but this was at the time that a printer supplier was being contracted.

I saw this expat update in April this update - thanks all !

The below Polícia Federal portal update in May was unexpected…

19/05/2024

Polícia Federal portal provided an update with an advanced date 24/05/2024

24/05/2024 - ‘arquivado’

Possibly an error which was then reverted back with a fresh update. With the contract now in place with the printers this date might then have been the new ‘start’ date of my process (last 2 months waiting for a printing supplier)

13/05/2024 - O requerimento está sendo processado.

It seemed that updates were made around Saturday or Monday mid-month, but I checked the portal daily with no expectations of updates between these mid-month dates.

At the start of June, I went to the Polícia Federal with my Protocol A4 printout to get a new one as the protocol printout expiry date was at the end of June. I just showed up with the Protocol form (I took docs and passport too just in case). Show the protocol form at the gate and say ‘Renovação do protocolo’. They’ll write something on the protocol form, then you queue up outside, then move inside, then wait in the small room for your name or number to be called. I got a new protocol form with an expiry date at the end of August.

15/06/2024 - Seu documento foi encaminhado para impressão.

This date of 15th June is the date of  ‘emissão’ I have on my CRNM ID card and the date had not changed on the site updates since, only the status itself changed..

I went to collect in Lapa, São Paulo on the 7th August. Just show up with the Protocol form (I took docs and passport too just in case). Show the protocol form at the gate and say ‘Retiro’. They’ll write this on the form, then you queue up outside, then move inside, then wait in the small room for your name/number to be called.

Documento foi entregue ao interessado na unidade DELEMIG/DREX/SR/PF/SP em 07/08/2024.

After all this, I made a colour photocopy of my CRNM ID and got this ‘authenticated’ as a genuine copy at a Cartório to carry with me all the time, leaving the original at home. If I lose the photocopy, I can make a replacement in a day 🙂

I hope this helps and gives a rough idea of the timeline to get or renew a CRNM ID card...
