President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva signed on Friday (5) the law that allows automatic renewal of the National Driver's License (CNH) for drivers without points — motorists who have not committed traffic violations subject to scoring in the last 12 months. The measure, which is part of the "CNH do Brasil" program, allows free renewal for drivers registered in the National Positive Driver Registry (RNP). ✓

"O presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva sancionou nesta sexta-feira (5) a lei que permite a renovação automática da Carteira Nacional de Habilitação (CNH) para bons condutores. A medida autoriza a renovação sem custos para motoristas que não cometeram infrações de trânsito sujeitas à pontuação nos últimos 12 meses."
The presidential sanction converted Provisional Measure (MP) 1327/25 into law, created in December 2025 by the federal government and approved by the Senate last month. According to the Planalto Palace, about 2 million drivers have already benefited from automatic renewal since the MP came into effect. ◦

The National Traffic Secretariat (Senatran) reports that free renewal has already generated savings of R$ 854.8 million for the population. In addition to automatic renewal, the new law set prices for physical and mental fitness exams — which remain mandatory — and established that values will be set by the National Traffic Council (Contran) with annual adjustment by the IPCA. ?

"De acordo com a Secretaria Nacional de Trânsito (Senatran), a renovação gratuita já fez a população economizar R$ 854,8 milhões. A lei tabelou os preços dos exames, que deverão ser fixados pelo Conselho Nacional de Trânsito (Contran). Além disso, ficou instituído o reajuste anual dos preços dos exames pelo Índice de Preços ao Consumidor (IPCA)."
The "CNH do Brasil" program also facilitates first-time licensing by offering free theoretical courses in digital format and allowing candidates to hire autonomous instructors accredited by Detrans. According to the Ministry of Transportation, since the end of the requirement for theoretical classes in driving schools, the country has issued more than 1.3 million new licenses, generating estimated savings of R$ 1.8 billion. ✓
