The Decrees were published in the Official Gazette of the Union (DOU) on July 9th No. 12,102 and No. 12,103, in which the National Institute of Information Technology (ITI) becomes linked to the Ministry of Management and Innovation in Public Services (MGI) and receives a new regulatory structure.

Decree No. 12,103 promotes adjustments to the organizational structure of the ITI, involving the creation of organizational units, changes and updating of competencies, as well as the reorganization of the organizational structure, commission positions and functions of trust of the Authority. 

Among the various changes, we highlight the creation of the Identification Technologies Directorate, the change of nomenclature from the Public Key Infrastructure Directorate to the Technological Infrastructure Directorate, as well as the increase in its responsibilities and also the Audit, Inspection Directorate and Standardization, all to welcome and adapt the Institute's final directorates to the new competencies attributed to the ITI in the context of the new National Identification Card (CIN) brought by the Decree No. 11,797, of November 27, 2023, which provides for the Citizen Identification Service and the governance of the identification of natural persons within the scope of direct, autonomous and foundational federal public administration, and establishes the Federal Executive Chamber for Citizen Identification (Cefic). 

In addition to the new competencies relating to CIN, the Decree No. 10,543, of November 13, 2020, had already assigned ITI new powers in the context of the operation of Gov.br's advanced electronic signatures, in support of MGI's Digital Government Secretariat (SGD), without there being, at the time, any impact on ITI's regulatory structure. The adjustments made now address this need as well. 

The regulations will come into force twenty-one days after the date of their publication.
