2 sources · 08 May 2026 · Share coverage ·

The Chamber of Deputies approved on Thursday (7) the provisional measure that allows automatic driver's license renewal for drivers without traffic violations in the last 12 months. The text now goes to the Senate for analysis.

The provisional measure was issued by the Federal Government in December 2025 and took effect immediately, but needs approval from the National Congress to become permanent law. According to the rapporteur, the cost and bureaucracy involved in the license renewal process result in an increase in the number of drivers without documentation, contributing to informality in traffic.
