Virallinen lähde: CONTRAN Resolution 1.020
Opettajan vinkki
“CONTRAN Resolution 1.020 removes the requirement to enroll at a driving school. Candidates can complete the theoretical course for free through the CNH do Brasil app, which previously required 45 hours of in-person classes. The cost of obtaining a CNH drops from around R$3,000 to R$700-800.”
Reduced Practical Training Hours
Voimaan 1. tammikuuta 2026
25 hours practical training
Candidates required to complete 25 hours of practical driving lessons at a registered school

Virallinen lähde: SENATRAN Portal
Opettajan vinkki
“The mandatory practical training has been drastically reduced from 25 hours to just 2 hours. While this makes the CNH more accessible, most candidates will still benefit from additional practice. The practical exam standards remain the same.”

Voimaan 1. tammikuuta 2026
In-person renewal required
All drivers had to renew their CNH in person at a DETRAN office with medical and psychological exams

Virallinen lähde: SENATRAN RNPC
Opettajan vinkki
“Clean drivers get rewarded: if you have no infractions in the 12 months before your CNH expires, you can renew automatically and for free through the CNH do Brasil app or SENATRAN portal. Register with the RNPC (Registro Nacional Positivo de Condutores) to qualify.”

Re: Enhanced Digital CNH with Biometric Access
Opettajan vinkki
“The digital CNH is now the primary format, with the physical card becoming optional. Police can scan the QR code for instant validation, and the app uses facial recognition for security. Updates to your license status appear in real time.”
