Other age groups were also affected, such as people between 34 and 39 years old (11.3%) and between 39 and 44 years old (11%). In addition to the prevalence among young people, the survey showed that men are the majority of victims and represent 62.32% of the total document fraud.
Documentary fraud: Southeast and RG
The geographical distribution of document fraud reveals that the South-East region leads the ranking and concentrates 38.87% of the cases in the country. The state of Sao Paulo is the most affected, with 18.26% of cases, followed by Pará (12.83%), Minas Gerais (10.21%), Rio de Janeiro (9.12%) and Pernambuco ( 5.4%).
Among the most vulnerable documents, the General Register (RG) stands out as the main target of fraud, representing 89.65% of cases in the sector. Driving licenses follow, with 9.54%. Other documents, such as work cards, alien identity cards (CIE) and passports, account for less than 1% of fraud.
The technical director of the CAF, José Oliveira, notes that in Brazil there has been a slight decline in the rate of document fraud, which went from 0.73% in 2023 to 0.65% in the first quarter of 2024, but that fraud is becoming increasingly sophisticated.
“There has indeed been an evolution in analytical tools, resulting in more effective fraud detection and a notable reduction in false negatives. However, it is important to note that fraudulent practices have become more complex, resulting in a decrease of the number of attacks, but with even greater precision”, comments Oliveira in a note.
According to CAF data, the main reasons for rejecting fake documents include irregularities in the main photo (31.28%), reproduction of forms (17.29%) and typographical forgery (17.06%).
Changes to physical documents
The year 2024 brought significant changes to major Brazilian physical documents. The identity card is replaced by the new National Identity Card (CIN)which is expected to be fully operational by 2032.
Already the The National Driving License (CNH) now has new security features and a redesigned layoutwith the aim of making fraud more difficult.
