So, as a vehicle owner, you should know that you need to renew your Vehicle Registration and Licensing Certificate (CRLV) annually. It is mandatory to carry it in order to drive your car. Learn what the Digital CRLV is and how to license your vehicle online.

So, since 2020, the issuance of the CRLV (Vehicle Registration and Licensing Certificate) has become digital, and you don't need to leave home to renew your document.

First, you should check with the DETRAN (Department of Motor Vehicles) to see if there are any outstanding debts related to fines or other fees. If there are, you must arrange for payment.

Next, pay the mandatory fee at any banking institution, whether at their branches, ATMs, or online.

Therefore, after making the payment, it is necessary to check if it has already been registered.

With this, you can request the issuance of your document directly on your state's DETRAN (Department of Motor Vehicles) website.

And finally, you download the document.

 Therefore, pay close attention to deadlines, as late payments may result in fines and vehicle seizure.

 Furthermore, it is a very serious offense and will add 7 points to your driver's license.

Well, you will need to pay the fee through the banking system, either via the internet, ATMs, or at the branches themselves.

After payment, you can check on the DETRAN website to see if it has already been registered, so you can download the Digital CRLV (Vehicle Registration and Licensing Certificate).

Step by step

See below for all the steps to obtain the Digital Vehicle Registration Certificate (CRLV Digital).

  • Check for any outstanding fines or fees.
  • Make the payment of the fee; its value is adjusted annually and varies from state to state.
  • Payment can be made at any branch of accredited banking institutions, ATMs, or online.
  • Verify the payment record on the DETRAN website.
  • After registering, download the CDT – Digital Traffic Wallet app to your mobile device.
  • Download the digital vehicle registration certificate (CRLV Digital) through the app. As a precaution, print a paper copy, as it may be useful in case of inspection if digital verification is not possible.

Do I need to print the digital CRLV (Vehicle Registration and Licensing Certificate) and have the physical document in hand?

So, you can access the Digital Vehicle Registration Certificate (CRLV Digital) through the CDT – Digital Traffic Wallet app on your mobile device, even if you don't have internet access.

However, you should pay attention to the device's battery level, because if it is dead, it will not be considered that you are carrying the document in case of an inspection.

Therefore, even though you have the digital document, it is recommended that you print it and keep it with you to avoid future problems.

What if I don't pay the licensing fee?

Well, if the license has been expired for more than two years, it will be necessary to request the unlocking of the system from the Treasury Department in order to make the payment.

And the Traffic Code considers failure to pay vehicle registration fees a very serious offense.

Therefore, if there is an inspection and your vehicle registration certificate (CRLV) is expired, you will have to pay a fine of R$ 293.47 and also have 7 points added to your National Driver's License.

Furthermore, in addition to the fine, the vehicle may be seized and taken to the impound lot of the traffic authority.

Furthermore, you will have to pay a daily fine for keeping the vehicle in the impound lot.

What a headache, isn't it?

Therefore, pay attention to the deadlines and be sure to renew your vehicle registration certificate (CRLV) annually, so you can drive freely without problems.
