From Driver’s License Renewal to Fine Queries: Check out DETRAN’s Online Services
SÃO PAULO, BRAZIL – The São Paulo State Traffic Department (DETRAN-SP) has extended its digital services. Now, through its website (www.detran.sp.gov.br) people can renew their National Driver’s License (CNH), request a duplicate copy of the license, and transfer title on used vehicles. The new services below:
- CNH Simplified Renewal: Anyone who needs to renew the CNH can apply online through the Detran.SP website and schedule the exam with an accredited professional. The simplified renewal covers all CNH categories, although changing categories is not possible.
According to DETRAN, medical examinations will be performed with the required hygiene and health care, with the use of hand sanitizers and masks, and compulsory individual protection equipment for both the health professional and the patient. Once the exam is successful, the new CNH can be digitally obtained through the Digital Traffic License (CDT) app, after payment of the applicable fees (R$91.11 [US$18] for the average exam, R$56.56 for the DETRAN fee, and R$11 for postage).
- Duplicate original of the CNH: The document may be requested due to loss, theft, robbery, or poor condition. The digital version will be available online to citizens for downloading in the app “CDT – Carteira Nacional de Trânsito” (CDT – National Traffic License) of the Federal Government. The new document is as legally valid as the original driver’s license. The vehicle’s driver files the request through the Detran.SP website and the document will be delivered by mail upon payment of the applicable fees (R$45.56 for issue and R$11 for postage).
- First Vehicle Registration: the request for registering a zero-km vehicle is done through the Detran.SP website. After the application, citizens may proceed to a license plate printing company.
- Transfer of used vehicles: Title changes are performed by scheduling an inspection at an ECV (Vehicle Inspection Company). The service is performed near the residence or establishment of the applicant. After obtaining the vehicle report, the transfer service can be ordered via the Detran.SP website.
- Fully digital annual vehicle licensing: this can be ordered online and saved or printed from the Detran.SP or the DENATRAN website – https://portalservicos.denatran.serpro.gov.br), or through the app “Carteira Digital de Trânsito – CDT”, available for Android and iOS mobile phones. The vehicle’s document can be printed at home on a common printer, on A4 paper, in black ink, on a single page.
Other services
With the extension, approximately 60 services are now provided. On the Detran-SP website, citizens may also search for fines and debits related to their vehicle, check the infraction reports on the vehicle, apply for and track the defense against a fine, and access duplicates of fines for vehicles registered in another state.
