Find out how to download your CNH Digital in a practical and free way and have access to all the functionalities of this application

Have you forgotten your licence at home and been stopped in a blitz? There's a way of never being fined again. With CNH Digital you have access to a digital version of your National Driver's Licence, and you can access it from any mobile device.

The app, which is official from the Brazilian government, not only allows access to the CNH Digital, but also provides access to the main documents of the vehicles registered in the name of the driver and user, as well as those shared by other owners through the app.

In the CNH Digital app, drivers can access their digital versions of the CNH and CRLV, which are always updated to keep the expiry dates synchronised with the physical documents, thus simplifying the driver's document management.

One of the app's benefits is the ability to share a vehicle's Digital CRLV quickly and securely with other drivers, which speeds up some processes and promotes efficient interaction between vehicle owners and authorised users.

In addition to the convenience of access, the biggest advantage is that the document is officially accepted and recognised by federal, state and municipal police officers throughout the country, which validates the CNH Digital as a reliable alternative to not being caught off guard by a Blitz, for example.

It's important to note that some states have stopped issuing printed CRLVs for licensed vehicles, so it's essential to update and have access to the CNH Digital app to ensure that your vehicle is regularised and circulating.

In short, using the CNH Digital app simplifies and speeds up drivers' lives, as well as modernising vehicle documentation processes, all 100% free of charge, eliminating the need to travel to your local Detran office.
