Did you know that you can now have your National Driver's License in digital format? This is possible through the National Traffic Wallet application, the CNH Digital app.

It allows you to access the scanned document, check fines, and other features, all for free! Let's find out how it works, what the advantages are, how to download the app, and more!

The Digital National Driver's License replaces the printed version of the document and can be used throughout the country. It is available to licensed drivers who have a QR Code on the back of their printed driver's license.

It's important to remember that this code is present on driver's licenses issued from March 2017 onwards. After all, it's with this code that you'll be able to scan your license and register it in the Digital Driver's License app.

If your driver's license doesn't have a QR code, simply request a duplicate and it will be included, okay? In fact, this is a great convenience, as the Digital Driver's License app has the same validity and legal value as the printed version.

Furthermore, it allows you to register your vehicle and keep a history of its movements: main drivers, fines, Digital Vehicle Registration Certificate (CRLV Digital), and even a notification of the expiration date 30 days in advance.

Finally, the app also notifies you in case of a vehicle recall, when a factory defect is identified by the manufacturer and needs to be repaired.

In these cases, the cars are towed because this problem is very likely to put the driver and passengers at risk. In other words, the app guarantees you fewer unexpected problems!

The official CNH app is the CDT – Digital Traffic Wallet, which you can download to your mobile phone. To do this, simply access a download platform, such as Google Play or the App Store, to find the app.

After downloading, the document will be available on your cell phone. However, having the Digital Driver's License is not mandatory: only those who wish to download the application will do so.

Yes, but be careful, because if you are required to present the digital document during an inspection and your cell phone is out of battery, you will not be able to present it and will receive a fine with points on your license.
