The new driver's license
The new version of the CNH, available throughout the country, is more up-to-date and has security features. Furthermore, the established international standard allows printing in three different languages. However, some doubts are being frequently asked about this subject:
Does anyone who already owns the wallet need to make the exchange?
Replacement with the new model will occur gradually, as Brazilians need to renew or make a new route. That is, it is not necessary to speed up the process and you will not be irregular if you remain with your old version that is not yet expired.
I need to add a new category, now what?
The process remains the same, any changes to this document will come with the new copy. That is, when it is updated with the insertions, the transition to the new established model will also be included.
What is the validity period of a CNH?
This depends on an important factor: the age of the driver of the vehicle, whatever it may be. With this, see below the relationship between the years of life and the equivalent validity and do not get irregular:
- From 18 to 49 years old: validity of ten years;
- Between 50 and 69 years old: validity of five years;
- Over 70 years of age: valid for only three years.
I want to make the exchange even with the wallet within the validity period, is it possible?
The option for those who want to get the new model is valid, even if it is far from expiring. For this, it is necessary to pay the renewal fees, in the Federal District, for example, the cost is BRL 170, and for those who have not yet completed the biometric re-registration, an additional BRL 44 is added. It is valid to check the values with the state DETRAN.
