The Ministry of Justice and Public Security established, through two ministerial orders published this Monday (5), the National Criminal Information System (Sinic) and the National Protocol for the Recognition of Persons in Criminal Proceedings.
Signed by minister Ricardo Lewandowski, the Ordinance 1123/2026 establishes that the it will be up to Snic to integrate into a single national information base the records of people convicted of being part of criminal organizations or factions, as well as sexual violence against children and adolescents; rape and racism, in addition to those that have access restrictions to sports arenas (stadiums and gyms).
With the entry into force of the ordinance, Sinic becomes the only source for issuing the National Criminal Certificate and the Criminal Record Sheetwhich, according to the ministry, will progressively replace certificates and sheets issued by courts, civil police and identification institutes of the Federation Units.
Already the Ordinance 1122/2026 defines that the purpose of the National Protocol for the Recognition of Persons in Criminal Proceedings will be to subsidize and standardize the investigative procedures carried out by the judicial police (PF; Civil Police and National Public Security Force, in actions to assist other forces).
According to the Ministry of Justice and Public Security, the objective of the protocol is “to promote greater reliability, legal security and respect for fundamental rights in the use of person recognition as a means of evidence, standardizing the technical and operational procedures for person recognition – which tends to reduce the risk of unfair convictions.
Voluntary and full adherence to the protocol will be considered a technical criterion for prioritizing the transfer of federal resources from the National Public Security Fund (FNSP), intended for judicial police actions related to the recognition of people.
