If you are among the victims of the floods on the coast of São Paulo, you can request your driver's license for free as soon as possible! Want to know how? Don't worry, we'll explain the details.

However, this measure is part of the 2014 legislation! In other words, it has been in effect for some time now! So, it's important to know about it as soon as possible.

Therefore, if your home was affected by a natural disaster, you have the right to request a duplicate of your vehicle registration document from the Department of Motor Vehicles (Detran)! You will need to fill out and sign a declaration!

Well, anyway, given the recent situation on the coast of São Paulo, let's check out some more information about the free transportation benefit?

The National Driver's License will be issued free of charge to all victims of the coastal floods in São Paulo!

Since the end of February, following the disaster in Barra do Sahy in São Sebastião, the population affected by the disaster can go to Poupatempo and request a new version of the document.

Moreover, this measure also applies to the RG (Brazilian national identity card)! In other words, if you need to request any of these documents due to the events of February, you can go directly to a unit on the coast.

Furthermore, a mobile Poupatempo (Citizen Service Center) was made available to assist with the most recent requests! So, keep reading to learn more.

The São Paulo State government has set up a mobile Poupatempo unit at Rua Marginal, 44, in Barra do Sahy. The truck is located in front of the Instituto Verdescola gymnasium.

Therefore, victims of the São Paulo floods can apply for a free driver's license!

If you are interested, please note that we are open Monday to Friday, from 10 am to 5 pm, and on Saturdays from 10 am to 1 pm. At this location, you can request duplicate copies of your documents free of charge!

In other words, your driver's license and ID card are free! However, remember that only those affected by natural disasters are entitled to this benefit. Furthermore, the free documents are only available for 60 days.

So, if you haven't yet requested your duplicate, now is the time, before the deadline expires and you have to pay! Furthermore, this unit is only available for requests for ID cards and driver's licenses!

In addition, the mobile unit will handle both the screening and the application and issuance of documents. If you are one of the affected people, rest assured, the government's goal is to meet the deadlines as quickly as possible.

On the other hand, the Poupatempo mobile unit also has a self-service kiosk with digital services. This way, you can perform other actions besides requesting duplicates of your documents.

Thus, it is also possible to renew your driver's license, register your vehicle, check your IPVA (vehicle tax), your Digital Work Card, your unemployment insurance, and even check your criminal record certificate.
