Categories for Free Driver's Licenses
The CNH Social benefit is offered for obtaining both Category A (cars) and Category B (motorcycles) licenses. In other words, the program meets the needs of most of the population, considering that these are the most commonly used vehicle categories.
It is important to remember that to obtain a driver's license you must be 18 years of age, and to be eligible for the free service, you must already be a participant in the Bolsa Família program or other similar social programs included in the official government list.
In addition to the approval criteria, the level of need will also be considered, so that those with preferential status receive the benefit earlier. Preference will be given to families with a larger number of members, and also to those with lower incomes. In other words, if you meet these special criteria, you will receive the program benefits before other registered candidates.
