Anyone been hassled for not replacing CIE with CRNM?

@jonesio

I have an old RNE, like your CIE, and I have never had to replace it nor has anyone commented on it...

There is no requirement to replace CIEs with indefinite validity.   There briefly was a rule to replace them nine years after original issue, but that rule was revoked.

In fact, the PF may not even collect yours when your naturalization is approved.   I still have mine, although it's just a souvenir now, with no legal significance.

I wasn't aware that rule was revoked. Do you happen to have a link to the decree or other measure by which it was revoked? Thanks.

It's the obligation of the RNM/RNE holder to surrender the card not PF after approval of Brazilian citizenship.

Yes. The rule appeared in Article 2 of this Portaria No. 8.728:

And Portaria No. 8728 was revoked in its entirety here, in Article 9 of Portaria No.  11.264:

Thanks to our friend Kurterino for pointing this out to me.

@abthree Thank you very much. And thanks, as well, to others who replied.

@Nomad Mundo Thanks, but that's  not what I was asking. My question pertains to my CIE before citizenship is granted and whether I needed to exchange it for a CRNM.

@jonesio... This isn't for you in particular but for someone still having a CRNM/RNE card and has citizenship approval. Thanks Anyways..!!

I've had my RNE for 15 years and have never had it questioned by anyone in all it's usage. TE PF , banks, borders, customs..it is never questioned. At 71 years young, I'm inclined to do nothing!
