How does the Social CNH work?

The main difference between issuing a Social Driver's License is that this program does not belong to the DMV, which is why it can be obtained free of charge. This means that the application is made through the State entity itself, guaranteeing that it is free of charge. DMV alone cannot offer free issuance of new documents, but the State is able to offer special benefits that make up for this impossibility, providing benefits that eliminate all costs, ensuring much greater accessibility and opportunities for the low-income population.

See right now what the requirements are to be able to apply for a free driver's license:

Do not exceed the limit of 2 minimum wages of family income;

Perform well at school;

Have no traffic violations

Be over 18 years old;

Being unemployed for 1 year or more

Study in public schools;

Have a registration with CadÚnico;

Be a beneficiary of social programs;

Attend school and know how to read and write

The benefit gives preference to candidates with lower incomes, that is, even among those who are poor, there will be tiebreaker criteria and a preferential order. Those who have larger families or require greater mobility will also have an additional priority in the benefit selection.

But if there is a tie in all criteria, the applicants who submitted the request first will have priority over the other applicants in the same category!
