In addition, the processes for renewing and obtaining the definitive CNH have also been updated. Below, we explain each stage clearly and objectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the Digital CNH?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The CNH Digital is the electronic version of the National Driver's License. It has the same legal validity as the printed document and can be accessed via the app Digital Transit Card (CDT)<\/strong>developed by Federal Data Processing Service (Serpro)<\/strong> in partnership with National Traffic Department (Denatran)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The main benefit of the CNH Digital is practicality. With it, drivers don't need to carry the physical document, as long as they have the app installed and accessible on their smartphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to activate the Digital CNH<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

To use the Digital CNH, the printed version of the document must contain the QR Code<\/strong> on the inside, available on cards issued from May 2017. The activation process is simple:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Download the app Digital Traffic License<\/strong> (available for Android and iOS).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Register in the system gov.br<\/a><\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Log in to the application and select \"Add documents\".<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Choose the CNH option and scan the document's QR Code.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Confirm some security information and create an access key.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    After validation, the CNH Digital will be available for consultation even without an internet connection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

    Renewing your driver's license<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Renewing your driver's license is mandatory if you want to continue driving after the document expires. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The validity of the license varies according to the driver's age and the results of the required medical tests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Driver's license expiration date<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    According to the Brazilian Traffic Code (CTB), updated by the Law 14.071\/2020<\/strong>The validity of the CNH follows the following criteria:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • 10 years<\/strong> for drivers under the age of 50;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 5 years<\/strong> for drivers aged between 50 and 69;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 3 years<\/strong> for drivers aged 70 and over.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      The time limit can be reduced at the doctor's discretion if conditions are detected that require more frequent reassessment of the driver's physical and mental fitness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How to renew your driver's license<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      The renewal process can vary according to the State Traffic Department (Detran) in each state, but usually includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Renewal request<\/strong> on the corresponding Detran website.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. Payment of the fee<\/strong> renewal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. Scheduling mandatory exams<\/strong>such as the medical examination of physical and mental fitness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Psychological examination<\/strong>if necessary (compulsory for paid drivers).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      5. In some cases, updating registration data<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        After passing the exams and clearing the payment, the new CNH is issued. You can opt for the physical document, the Digital CNH or both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n\n\n\n

        Definitive CNH<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        The definitive CNH is the document issued after the period of Permission to Drive (PPD)<\/strong>. When a driver passes the licensing process, they initially receive a provisional license, which is valid for one year. After this period, it is possible to apply for a definitive license, as long as the driver meets the legal requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Requirements to Obtain a Permanent Driver's License<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        To apply for a permanent driver's license, the driver must:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Have completed the 12-month period with the PPD.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Not having committed any serious or very serious infringement<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • No repeat offenses averages<\/strong> in the period.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Have your documentation up to date in the Detran system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          If the driver has committed infractions that prevent him or her from being issued with a permanent license, he or she will have to restart the entire licensing process, including classes and exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          How to apply for a permanent driver's license<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
            \n
          1. Visit the Detran<\/strong> of your state.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          2. Log in with your registration details (in some states, you need to log in with an account). gov.br<\/strong>).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          3. Request issuance of the definitive CNH<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          4. Pay the corresponding fee (if applicable).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          5. Wait for the document to be processed and released.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

            In many states, the process is completely digital. The definitive CNH can be sent by post or made available directly at Digital Traffic License<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n\n\n\n

            Digital CNH vs. Physical CNH: Which one to use?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            Both have the same legal validity. The choice between the digital and printed versions depends on the driver's preference. However, it is important to keep the application up to date and the cell phone charged when driving with only the Digital CNH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            During inspections, the traffic officer may ask for the document. If the driver is unable to produce their CNH, whether physical or digital, they may be fined for not carrying the mandatory document, even if they are qualified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n\n\n\n

            Conclusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            With the evolution of digital services, the process of obtaining and maintaining a driver's license has become simpler and more accessible. A Digital CNH<\/strong> offers more practicality to the driver, while the renovation<\/strong> and obtaining a permanent driver's license<\/strong> follow well-defined criteria aimed at traffic safety.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Keeping your driver's license up to date is a driver's responsibility. That's why it's important to keep up with the deadlines, use the digital channels available and keep your data up to date with Detran.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
