The digitization of Brazilian public records inaugurates a structural change in the production, circulation, and validation of legal information. The general objective of this article is to analyze the Legal Information Regime in the context of the digitization of public records, with emphasis on the tensions between administrative efficiency, informational power, document authenticity, and citizen accessibility. The research adopts a qualitative, exploratory, bibliographic, and documentary approach, based on the analysis of legal norms, regulatory acts, technical documents, and interdisciplinary literature from Information Science, Law, and Archival Science. The results indicate that the Electronic Public Records System centralizes flows and technical standards, redefines document authenticity, makes interoperability a condition of reliability, reorganizes informational power, and demonstrates that citizen accessibility depends on digital inclusion, clear language, data protection, and social control. The study concludes that the effectiveness of the Legal Information Regime depends on integrated policies of documentary governance, archival preservation, open standards, institutional transparency, and public oversight of the normative and technological infrastructure that supports digital legal information.
