RM Certificados Digitais

What RM Certificados Digitais does

RM Certificados Digitais Ltda is a Brazilian Registration Authority (Autoridade de Registro) operating within the ICP-Brasil Public Key Infrastructure, headquartered in Formiga, Minas Gerais. Founded in 2016 and accredited as an AR in 2018, the company issues ICP-Brasil-compliant digital certificates in both A1 (software-based, 1-year validity) and A3 (hardware token/smartcard, 1-3 year validity) formats. Its product portfolio covers e-CPF (individuals), e-CNPJ (legal entities), e-NFe (electronic invoices), and e-CTe (electronic transport documents), supported by a customer portal (mp.syngularid.com.br) and a partner portal (rm.gfsis.com.br).

The technical architecture is anchored to AC SOLUTI as the upstream Certificate Authority, with certificates using 1024-bit and 2048-bit cryptographic standards. RM operates a physical office for mandatory in-person identity validation, an online store (rm.gfsis.com.br/gestaofacil/loja) for direct digital sales, and a partner program that channels traffic through accounting firms (contadores). The company provides cross-platform driver and installer support for leading token vendors (ePass, Gemalto, Idemia, Safenet) across Windows, Mac, and Linux.

The business model is a one-time license for each certificate plus hardware token markup, with quote-based pricing. Three customer segments drive revenue: individual professionals (accountants, lawyers, doctors, engineers) requiring certificates for government interactions and e-signatures; businesses needing certificates for mandatory electronic invoicing and tax compliance; and accountants who act as referral partners. The company is structured as an EIRELI under CNPJ 29.113.745/0001-49 and is privately held with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
