In Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was recorded for the first time in the country to a newborn with technology Blockchain. This news revealed by the technology giant IBM. In accordance with the information provided, the process followed all the legal rules and procedures. This was possible thanks to the network Notary Ledgers of Growth Tech, which provides services of digital registration using IBM’s Blockchain Platform. The CEO and founder of Growth Tech, Hugo Pierre, explained that: “Although some maternity hospitals already have notary offices, the issuance of a certificate of birth is not so simple. In many cases, the father has to deal with queues lasting up to four hours, especially in public hospitals, with a large number of births per day”. It is for this reason that integrate Blockchain can make this process much more simple and fast. In addition, to foster innovation, improve the life of brazilians. “The record of the Blockchain is adding several benefits to the brazilian families, as for example the agility to deliver the document to the parents in a timely manner”. Another of the advantages of Blockchain will be reflected when there is a greater adoption of the technology. This is because, once the chain of blocks, this widely adopted, the relevant data shall begin to run on the same network. This will help to streamline the bureaucratic processes, such as marriage or real estate records.

The birth of the baby in Brazil
The initiative is also the result of a partnership between the 5° Civil Registry of Natural Persons of Rio de Janeiro and the House of Health of São José. This last was where the baby was born, Alvaro de Medeiros Mendonça. It was part of a pilot project whose aim was to analyze the records issued during a period of time. With this we wanted to find out if there was a possibility of extending its adoption not only in the hospital, but also in other rooms of maternity. Before this, Pierre also added that: “At birth, one of the members of the team of labor makes the declaration of birth in vivo directly in our tool. Then, one who registers the child creates his digital identity based on validation of personal data with official agencies, as well as a powerful biometric recognition face, and finally the information enters the platform of the office of the notary, which generates the certificate is completely valid, in no more than 15 minutes”.
