What is the Digital Traffic License?
The Digital Traffic License is a free application available for Android and iOS smartphones.
It was created with the idea of making life easier for drivers and vehicle owners, allowing them to have quick and secure access to their traffic documents without the need to carry physical documents.
Advantages of the Carteira Digital de Trânsito application
- Practicality: With CDT, you always have your CNH and CRLV available on your cell phone, avoiding fines for forgetting them at home. And it's even easier to present a document somewhere else;
- Security: Digital documents have the same legal value as physical ones and are protected by password, fingerprint or facial recognition;
- Economy: Reduces the need to issue duplicates of physical documents, saving time and money.
See how to get your CNH and CRLV digitally on your cell phone
1. Go to the App Store: On your smartphone, open the Google Play Store (for Android) or the Apple App Store (for iOS);
2. Search for the application: In the search bar, type "Digital Traffic License" and select the official application, developed by Serpro for DENATRAN;
3. Install: Click on "Install" and wait for it to download and install.
After installing the application, you will need to create an account or log in with a Gov.br account existing.
The Gov.br account is a digital identity that allows access to public services online. If you don't have one, the app offers guidance on how to register.
Adding the Digital CNH
To add your digital CNH, your driver's license must have the QR Code, present on CNHs issued from May 2017. Follow the steps:
- Log in to your account: Log in to the application using your Gov.br account;
- Add CNH option: On the home screen, select the option to add the digital CNH;
- Scan the QR Code: Use your cell phone camera to scan the QR Code located on the inside of your physical CNH;
- Validation: After scanning, the application may ask for some additional information to validate your identity.
Adding the Digital CRLV
For the digital CRLV, the process is similar:
- On the Start Screen: Select the option to add the digital CRLV;
- Enter the Vehicle Data: You will need to enter the Renavam number and the security code from the CRV (old DUT);
- Validation and Access: After validation, the digital document will be added to your profile and will be accessible whenever you need it.
