CRT-MG

What CRT-MG does

CRT-MG (Conselho Regional dos Técnicos Industriais de Minas Gerais) is a federal autarquia created by Lei nº 13.639/2018 and operational since 2019, holding exclusive statutory authority to register, regulate, and fiscalize the professional practice of industrial technicians across the state of Minas Gerais. It is part of the national CFT/CRT system under the Conselho Federal dos Técnicos Industriais (CFT) and serves over 95,000 registered technicians spanning more than 194 technical modalities — including food technology, electronics, civil construction, mechanics, metallurgy, and electrics. The organization's core functions are professional registration, issuance of the Termo de Responsabilidade Técnica (TRT), ethical and disciplinary oversight, field inspections (including at mining-dam sites in Mariana and Ouro Preto), and representation of the profession at state and federal levels.

The institution runs a layered digital platform stack: SINCETI (corporativo.sinceti.net.br) is the central registry and back-office system for professionals, companies, certificates, TRTs, and annual-fee billing; e-Técnico is a mobile application providing digital professional credentials; Webvoto is an audited 100% online voting platform first deployed for the 2026 CFT/CRT elections; and Portal Casa Brasil (casabrasil.sinceti.tec.br) is a national marketplace connecting registered civil-construction technicians with beneficiaries of the federal Reforma Casa Brasil housing program. Service delivery combines these self-serve digital channels with in-person service at the Belo Horizonte headquarters, a regional office in Ipatinga, and an itinerant office program that reaches interior cities.

The revenue model is anchored on mandatory annual fees (anuidades) paid by every registered technician, supplemented by one-time charges for initial registration, company registration, certificate issuance, and TRT issuance. Fee tables for 2026 are publicly published on the CRT-MG website, with discounts for early lump-sum payment and a recently introduced "TRT Social" waiver for technicians serving in the Reforma Casa Brasil program. Distribution is community-led: outreach runs through the institutional website, CRT-MG Em Foco newsletter, social media, TV CRT-MG on YouTube, and direct participation as master sponsor of major industrial fairs such as Expo Usipa. The 2026-2030 leadership transition (President Renato Lemos Borges, elected via the RECONSTRUÇÃO slate) coincided with the new headquarters inauguration and the Portal Casa Brasil launch, marking a deliberate modernization push.
