National driving license

A driving license (CNH), just like other documents, is considered the most important document for many drivers. That's because if the driver is driving a vehicle without it, he may receive penalties.

But most of the time getting a driver's license can be considered a very high cost for many Brazilians from needy families. For that reason, the DETRAN (State Traffic Department), opens vacancies every year in the project CNH Social so that many can get their wallet out of driver for free.

A CNH Social is a social project created with the aim of helping people who belong to lower-income families and who cannot afford all the costs of obtaining a driver's license. For this reason, the regional units of the DMV offer vacancies so that many can have the right to a CNH for free.
