Do I need to change my license this year?
The answer is: it depends. If your license expires that year, then you will indeed need to go to the Detran to get a new one. However, if your CNH is not yet close to the expiry date, then it will not be necessary to exchange immediately.
This is because, although the Federal Government stipulates that the standard document must be in the new format, the change will be gradual, which means that the Brazilian population will have the new document as the cards need renovation. With this, it is stipulated that it will take a maximum of four years for everyone to have a CNH within the new standard. Therefore, you don't have to worry about an exchange before that period, unless you want to have the new document soon.
CNH news
The new drivers will have a CNH with a much more modern design. In fact, the government was inspired by the international standards for standardizing documentation to make it more practical and aesthetically pleasing.
However, the big news is due to the expiry date of the new license. After all, most drivers will have a document with a renewal period of up to ten years, twice as long as previously defined. But pay attention to the details, as drivers between 50 and 70 years old must renew their license in five years, while those over 70 years old must renew it in a maximum of three years.
