Digital evolution has transformed many aspects of our lives, and driving is no exception.
The National Traffic Department (DENATRAN), in partnership with the Federal Data Processing Service (SERPRO), created the Digital National Driver's License (CNH Digital), an application that allows drivers to access their driver's license through a mobile device.
This article details the process for downloading the Digital Driver's License (CNH Digital), how to validate it, if there are any costs involved, and what other documents will be accessible through the app.
Step-by-step guide to downloading the Digital Driver's License.
Here's a quick step-by-step guide on how you can easily download your digital driver's license (CNH) to your cell phone:
- To begin, access the app store on your mobile device. If you have an Android, the store will be the Google Play Store; if your smartphone is an iPhone, look for the Apple Store.
- Once you're in the app store, use the search function to find "CNH Digital".
- In the list of results that appears, locate the application called "Carteira Digital de Trânsito" (Digital Traffic Wallet), developed by Serpro.
- When you find the app, tap the option to install it on your device.
- After installation, open the app on your smartphone. To access it, you will need to use your CPF (Brazilian tax identification number) to log in.
- After logging in, you will be prompted for an activation code. Enter this code in the corresponding space.
- Finally, you will need to create a PIN (Personal Identification Number), a four-digit password to facilitate access in the future.
Validation of the Digital Driver's License
Validation of the Digital Driver's License (CNH Digital) occurs through a security code that is sent to your email. Upon receiving it, you must enter it into the application.
After validation, the Digital Driver's License will be available in the app and will be equivalent to the printed driver's license for all legal purposes.
Do I have to pay to get a Digital Driver's License?
No, downloading and using the Digital Driver's License (CNH Digital) is free. However, if the physical CNH does not have the QR Code, which is necessary to generate the digital version, it will be necessary to request a duplicate of the physical CNH, which may incur costs.
What documents will I have access to?
In addition to the Digital Driver's License, the "Digital Traffic Wallet" app also allows users to add the Vehicle Registration and Licensing Certificate (Digital CRLV) and the Digital Vehicle Transfer Document (DUT).
This feature makes life easier for the driver, who now has the main documents needed to drive and manage vehicle ownership on their cell phone.
In conclusion, the Digital Driver's License is an innovation that brings practicality and security to drivers, allowing them to have a legally valid document for driving on their cell phone, reducing the worry about losing or forgetting the physical document.
