Checking your ID using your CPF is a need that may arise at specific times.
Whether it's to create a contract, locate a person or even to assess the regularity of a document, being able to make this query would be very useful.
But have you ever stopped to wonder why it is so difficult to locate someone's ID number?
In today's material we will discuss this subject, in addition to presenting you with a way to obtain this data through the CPF, and at the end we will teach you how to access the Digital ID SP.
Therefore, to learn about this type of consultation, don't miss the following content.
Why is it difficult to consult ID?
When we talk about locating a document, the CPF always ends up being the easiest information to obtain.
Therefore, many queries are made using the CPF, which allows you to locate information such as legal proceedings, open companies and even debts.
However, on some occasions the CPF is not so useful, especially when the RG is requested to fill in information.
In these cases, the situation becomes more difficult, since locate the ID of someone is not such a simple task.
But why does this happen? Why is it so difficult to find someone's ID on the internet?
The truth is that locating any document on the internet should not be an easy task.
This is because, with someone's document number in hand, it is very simple to carry out scams or fraud on the internet.
Considering that the ID is an identity confirmation document, this number in the wrong hands opens the door to many risks.
A good example of risk is when someone obtains information over the phone by pretending to be someone else, providing their ID number.
Many banks also request an ID to prove identity and change data.
Therefore, an ID number on the internet can cause problems and expose the holder.
For this reason, it is not as simple to find the ID number on the internet, as it is with the CPF.
But, is it possible to check the ID using the CPF, since this second piece of information helps confirm identity? We'll see below!
In which cases might it be necessary to check an ID using a CPF?
In the previous topic we highlighted why it is so difficult to find your ID number on the internet.
As we can see, it is about security, since the ID serves to identify the holder.
But although having this number exposed online can pose risks, in some cases checking it is necessary.
This is especially true in situations where someone's identity needs to be confirmed.
You have certainly come across the situation of having two people with the same name.
In this case, how is it possible to know who it is, if not by the document number?
Or, when finalizing a contract, you need to include the client's document, but it is not there. What should you do?
In these cases, checking ID by CPF could be very useful, since it is very simple to locate someone's CPF.
And, locating the ID using the CPF would also be a way of ensuring that the information is official, since one document leads to the other.
So, if you have doubts about which cases justify checking someone's ID on the internet, know that the guarantee of authenticity is a good reason.
But, is it possible to consult someone else's ID, or just your own?
Unfortunately, it is not possible to consult third-party IDs, as this consultation is done through the Gov.br account.
Therefore, you can only access your ID number if you have a login.
But, we will see below how this query can be made.
How to check ID using CPF?
At this point we have already explained in detail everything that precedes the online ID consultation.
This way, you now understand the reasons why this consultation is so specific, and in which cases it is justified to do so.
Therefore, all that’s left is for us to teach you how to check your ID using your CPF.
It is worth mentioning that this alternative is currently only available through My INSS.
This is the INSS portal, where you can consult all of the personal information of taxpayers.
The good news is that you can make this type of query either through the website meu.inss.gov.br or through the application that has the same name.
On both platforms, simply log in with your Gov.br account, using your CPF.
Then, go to the "My Registration" tab, and then click on "Registration Data".
If your registration is up to date, your data will appear easily.
This way, just look for the "RG" field and check the number.
This is a useful procedure for those who have lost their document and do not have the number recorded.
As we have already explained, unfortunately checking ID by CPF is not useful for third parties.
Therefore, if you need to make a contract or check someone's identity, checking their ID will not work, as it can only be done by the person themselves.
How to access the Digital ID?
Throughout this material it became clear that checking an ID by CPF is only possible if done by the holder himself.
Therefore, this function becomes useful on occasions where the holder is not in possession of his document, and does not have the number engraved in his head.
The same applies to occasions when the holder does not have their ID card at hand, but needs to confirm their identity.
In these cases, the consultation may even be useful, but there is an even more efficient resource, which is the Digital ID.
The Digital ID, as the name suggests, is a digital version of the identity document.
There is a proposal that the ID becomes a digital document, as happened with the CTPS.
But, for now, the Digital ID is just one more resource, as the physical version is still issued.
The function of the Digital ID is the same as the physical document, as it contains all the information, and the app offers a guarantee of authenticity.
Therefore, in the absence of a physical document, it is perfectly possible to present the digital version.
To do this, simply go to your app store and search for "Digital ID", remembering that there is an app for each state, and you must choose the one for your state.
Once done, download and open the application.
Then, a message will appear asking you to scan the QR code on your document.
Scan it, and then your physical ID information will also appear in the app.
It is worth mentioning that the Digital ID is only available for new documents, and can only be accessed via the QR Code on the physical document.
Therefore, it is worth accessing the app in advance, so that you can use it later, when you do not have the document at hand.
Did you see how easy it is to access your Digital ID? This is a great way to consult the document!
