The National Council of Justice (CNJ) held on Tuesday (01/31), in Brasilia, a public hearing for the presentation and debate of the draft normative act, which structures the implementation and operation of the Electronic System of Public Records (Serp) . The system, provided for in Law no. 14,382/2022, will enable remote and electronic access to registration services performed by Brazilian registry offices, standardizing the provision of digital services.
Acts registered or annotated in the registry offices can be viewed electronically, and documents and information can be electronically transferred between the public registry offices and their users, including the government. The Corregedoria Nacional de Justiça made public the schedule for the first stage of deliveries regarding the implementation and operation of the system, whose portal should be online by July 31 of this year.
With the participation of several advisors and representatives of the judiciary, registry service entities and office holders, the hearing highlighted the modernization and simplification of procedures related to public records in the country.
For the executive director of the National Association of Digital Certification – ANCD, Egon Schaden Júnior, who participated in the public hearing, the proper use of electronic signatures is important to ensure the legal validity and technological security of the acts carried out in the Serp. Schaden stated that for certain acts, the use of qualified electronic signatures, performed with a digital certificate in accordance with the ICP-Brasil standard, is essential to guarantee the long-term preservation of documents and digital signatures.
Schaden also detailed that in addition to the cycle of use, user experience in the act of signing the document, qualified signatures also provide a secure life cycle for digital documents. “Documents signed using qualified signatures have robust associated evidence to ensure the attributes of legal validity, integrity, authenticity, traceability, confidentiality and interoperability, the latter ensuring that the document and signature can be verified for validity without the need for proprietary software ”, he explained.
According to the executive president of the Association of Registration Authorities of Brazil (AARB), Edmar Araújo, the security, both legal and technological, of qualified signatures is already recognized by the wide use in several operations. “I think it is important for the CNJ to have a special eye on the use of qualified electronic signatures, because we have an infrastructure with the presence of the Brazilian state in which entities are accredited through rigorous processes, with the equipment used in issuing a digital certificate endorsed by Inmetro. We have a ready-to-use national digital certification system that meets the desire to ensure a modern, uncomplicated, convenient and, above all, secure transaction with regard to public records, including real estate records”, adds Araújo.
Other representatives also collaborated with the public hearing with reflections and proposals regarding the improvement of the system.
