=== Brazil === {{Main|Registro Geral|Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas}} In [[Brazil]], there are two main systems: The first, the ''Registro Geral'' (RG, General Registry in free translation) is the record number of the [[Brazilian identity card|Identity Cards]] issued by the Institutes of Identification from [[Federative units of Brazil|Federative Units]] (whose links may vary between their civil and scientific polices - except in Rio de Janeiro, where they're issued by its Transit Department) under a national graphic and data standard since 1984. However, the General Registry is assigned federatively (not being the same for the same person in all Federative Units) and also coexists with a few other registry numbers (such as those issued by the [[Brazilian Armed Forces]] or the [[Registro Nacional de Estrangeiros|Migratory National Registry]] issued to refugees and residents of Brazil or its border municipalities by the [[Federal Police of Brazil]]), making possible to a brazilian or portuguese with equality of rights and duties to have other General Registries by other federative units (which is usually dealt with by specifying the one which issued its Identity Card) being almost impossible for one to coincide with another. The other system, the ''Cadastro de Pessoas Físicas'' (CPF, Cadastre of Physical Persons in free translation), is the main tax identification issued on an exclusive, federal and lifetime basis by the [[Receita Federal do Brasil|Secretary of Federal Revenue of Brazil]] originally for taxation purposes (a related system is used for individual micro-entrepreneurs, enterprises and institutions of any nature, which is called ''Cadastro Nacional de Pessoas Jurídicas'' - CNPJ, National Cadastre of Juridical Persons in free translation). One, the other and/or both numbers are required for many common tasks in Brazil such as opening a [[bank account]] or obtaining a [[driver's license]]. However, a new Identity Card version has been issued since 2022 with the citizens' General Registries based around the CPF. Another type of registration is the Social Security Number, currently originated when a person accesses the National Social Security Institute's website with its CPF<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.inss.gov.br/ |title=inss.gov.br |publisher=inss.gov.br |access-date=2012-07-14 |archive-date=2012-06-26 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120626105235/http://www.inss.gov.br/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> or starts to work for a enterprise or institution of almost any nature (when it's mandatory to register the employee in the Social Integration Program). There's also the ''Título Eleitoral'' (Electoral Title, in free translation) issued by the Regional Electoral Courts from the Federative Units and mandatory for brazilians and portugueses with equality of rights and duties (even if living overseas) from 18 to 70 years old.
