What is the e-Title?
e-Título is the official app of the Electoral Court that offers a digital version of the voter registration card.
Through it, it is possible to consult electoral information, registration status, polling place, certificates, and other services. Furthermore, access can be done using the CPF (Brazilian taxpayer ID number), which makes life easier for those who don't know their voter registration number by heart.
The app can also display the voter's photograph. In that case , the digital version can be used as an identification document for voting, according to applicable rules.
What will change in the e-Title in 2026?
The updated version includes more services and aims to make it easier for voters to access information from the Electoral Court.
Among the main new or improved features are:
- Synchronization of biographical and biometric data;
- Paying debts via Pix or card;
- party affiliation certificate;
- temporary authentication code;
- Monitoring of requests from Título Net;
- improvements in absence justification;
- Unregistration of volunteer poll worker;
- Integration of the Bulletin in Hand;
- Document validation via QR code.
Thus, the e-Title ceased to be just a digital version of the voter registration card and began to concentrate more services.
Does the e-Title update the data automatically?
One of the new features for 2026 is the active synchronization of biographical and biometric data.
In practice, certain changes registered by the Electoral Court can be reflected in the application without the voter needing to uninstall and reinstall it.
For example, the TSE cites biographical changes and biometric updates.
In this way , the goal is to keep the information in the application more aligned with the electoral register.
Is it possible to pay election fines using the e-Title app?
Yes. Another new feature is the possibility of paying electoral debts through the app, when that option becomes available.
The e-Título (electronic title) has been integrated into PagTesouro , allowing payment via Pix or credit card.
In general, the voter should:
- open the app;
- Check your voter registration status;
- Check if there are any outstanding debts;
- Access the payment option;
- Choose the available option;
- To complete the operation.
Therefore, it's worth checking your status before the elections. This way, you avoid discovering any outstanding issues precisely when you need the app.
Can I obtain my party affiliation certificate through the app?
Yes. The e-Título app now offers the option to issue party affiliation certificates.
There are two options:
- Simple Certificate: shows the current affiliation;
- Historical Certificate: shows records of previous affiliations.
However, this feature depends on the conditions set for the user. Therefore, the option may not be available to all voters.
What is the e-Title authentication code?
Another new feature is the temporary authentication code , also called a token.
It serves to help validate the voter's identity in partner or affiliated systems of the Electoral Court.
Furthermore, there is an additional security step: before generating the code, the application may require facial recognition via video selfie.
Thus, the feature allows for more secure identity verification in certain digital integrations.
What has changed regarding the justification for absence?
The process for justifying absences has also been redesigned.
The app now offers simpler ways to justify your absence both on election day , for those who are away from their registered voting address, and for subsequent justifications.
However, each situation has its own rules. For example, providing justification after the absence may require documentation to prove the reason for it.
Therefore, if you know you will not be able to vote, consult the official guidelines before the election.
Can I track requests made through Título Net?
Yes. Applications submitted to the Electoral Court via Título Net can have their progress tracked through e-Título, in the area indicated by the application.
This makes monitoring easier because voters don't need to rely on separate consultations.
Furthermore , integration concentrates more electoral information in the same environment.
Is the "Boletim na Mão" (Bulletin in Hand) still separate?
No. The Boletim na Mão (Bulletin in Hand) has become part of the e-Título (electronic voter registration card) ecosystem.
The feature allows users to view information from the ballot box reports by scanning the QR code found on the printed report at the end of the voting process.
In addition, the new version allows you to select and share multiple ballot box reports.
In this way , voters gain another tool to access information related to the vote count.
Can I cancel my registration as a volunteer poll worker?
Yes. The e-Title now allows voters who voluntarily registered to work in the elections to voluntarily unregister via their cell phones.
Although it is a specific function, it reinforces the proposal to concentrate more electoral services within the application.
Does the e-Title replace the physical document?
It depends on the voter's situation.
When the digital voter registration card (e-Título) includes a photograph , it can be used as an identification document for voting, according to the rules of the Electoral Court.
On the other hand, those who do not have biometric data must present an official document with a photo, in accordance with applicable electoral guidelines.
Therefore, don't leave this verification until election day. Open the app beforehand and check if your photo appears.
If in doubt, also bring an official photo ID.
What is the relationship between biometrics and e-Title?
Electoral biometrics are used by the Electoral Court to confirm the voter's identity during voting.
Facial recognition on the e-Title is used in certain digital services within the app.
In other words, they are different resources.
Therefore, having facial recognition available in the app does not mean that it will automatically replace all identification steps at the polling station.
Do I need to download the e-Title before the elections?
Yes. Ideally, you should install and update the app beforehand.
Ultimately, leaving the installation until election day can lead to unnecessary problems, especially if there are difficulties with connection, updates, or access.
The TSE (Superior Electoral Court) also informs that the issuance of the e-Title (digital voter registration card) will be temporarily suspended on election day.
Therefore, the sooner you prepare the application, the better.
How do I download the e-Title?
The app is free and available for Android and iOS.
To install it:
- Open your phone's official app store;
- search for e-Title;
- Check if the app is an official one from the Electoral Court;
- Install it;
- Open the app;
- Please provide the requested information;
- Complete the validation steps, when required.
In addition, keep the app updated. Avoid installing files sent by third parties or versions distributed via WhatsApp and social media.
What should I check on my e-Title before the election?
If this is your first time voting, follow this checklist:
Check your data
Please verify that the name and other information are correct.
Check your voter registration status.
This way, you can identify any potential issues in advance.
Check the voting location.
Write down the address and, if possible, familiarize yourself with the location before election day.
Verify biometrics
Check if your biometric registration is complete.
Check if your digital voter ID card (e-Title) has a photo.
This information is important to know if the digital version can be used for identification, according to applicable rules.
Update the application
Do this before the election period.
Prepare a physical document.
Even if you intend to use the e-Title (digital voter registration card), carrying an official photo ID can be a useful precaution.
What to do if the e-Title doesn't work?
First, check your internet connection. Then, close and reopen the app to see if any updates are available.
If the problem persists, restart your phone and try again.
Additionally, check the official TSE channels in case there is any scheduled maintenance or service unavailability.
Finally, do not install third-party applications in an attempt to fix the problem.
Has the e-Title become more secure?
The update also brought security-focused features.
One example is a temporary authentication code, which may require facial recognition before it can be generated.
Furthermore, the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) has implemented infrastructure changes and technological preparations for the 2026 Elections.
Consequently , some transactions may require additional confirmation steps. These checks, however, are intended to protect the voter's data and identity.
