Can you imagine being stopped in a police blitz and not having your physical licence in your hands? Fortunately, this is no longer a problem. With the Digital CNHIf you have a mobile phone, you can access the electronic version of your National Driver's Licence directly from your mobile phone, ensuring practicality and avoiding unnecessary fines.
The Brazilian government's official application goes beyond making the CNH Digital available. It also allows access to vehicle documents, such as the Vehicle Registration and Licensing Certificate (CRLV), either for vehicles owned by you or shared by other authorised users.
With the app, you can manage your traffic information in a simplified way. Both the CNH and the CRLV are always up to date, automatically synchronising the expiry dates with the physical documents. This makes organisation easier and prevents important deadlines from being forgotten.
One of the app's most useful features is sharing the Digital CRLV. You can send the document quickly and securely to other drivers using the vehicle, ensuring that all drivers have access to the documentation they need to drive legally and safely.
In addition, the CNH Digital is widely recognised by traffic authorities throughout Brazil, such as federal, state and municipal police. This means that you can use it to replace the printed document in situations such as inspections, without any restrictions.
It's worth noting that in some states the physical CRLV is no longer issued, making the use of the digital version essential in order to comply with legislation and guarantee the circulation of the vehicle.
In short, the application Digital Transit Card (CDT) is an indispensable tool for drivers who want to simplify their document management. It modernises processes, eliminates the need for face-to-face visits to Detran and is completely free of charge.
