Digital CNH: How to Have Your Driver's License in the Palm of Your Hand

The Digital CNH is an electronic version of your driver's license, available directly on your cell phone.

It is ideal for those who want practicality and security, avoiding carrying the physical version of the CNH and facilitating access to the document at any time.

And the best part: it has the same legal validity as the printed version, which means you can use it in any situation where you need to present your license.

Below, we will show you a step-by-step guide to downloading, installing and configuring your Digital CNH in the official government application, ensuring that you have everything ready to use.

Step 1: Download the “Digital Transit Wallet” App

To access the Digital CNH, you will need the application Digital Transit Card (CDT), available for both Android and iOS.

1. Go to the app store from your cell phone:
   • On Android: open the Google Play Store.
   • On iOS: Open the App Store.
2. Search for “Digital Transit Wallet” and install the application developed by Serpro, the Brazilian government's technology partner.

Step 2: Register or Access gov.br

To use CNH Digital, you will need to register on the platform gov.br or use your login, if you already have one.

1. Open the app Digital Transit Wallet.
2. Click on “Log in with gov.br”. If you already have an account, just enter your CPF and password.
3. If you don't already have a gov.br account, follow the registration instructions to create one.
4. After successfully logging in, the app will be connected to your gov.br account, and you can proceed.

Step 3: Activate the Digital CNH

To activate your Digital CNH, your physical driver's license must have a QR Code printed on the inside – a mandatory requirement for digital activation. This QR Code is present on CNHs issued from 2017 onwards.

1. In the Digital Transit Wallet application, go to the section “Enabling”.
2. Click on “Tap to add Digital CNH”.
3. The application will ask for the QR Code scanning. Open your physical driver's license, locate the QR Code on the inside and use your cell phone camera to scan it.
4. To confirm your identity, the system may request a facial biometric validation. Follow the instructions to capture an image of your face, ensuring that you are in a well-lit location with no objects covering your face.
5. After validation, your Digital CNH will be activated and will be available in the app.

Step 4: Setting the Security PIN

To ensure that only you have access to your Digital CNH, the application requests the creation of a Security PIN 4-digit PIN. This PIN will be required every time you want to access your Digital CNH.

Follow the in-app instructions to create a memorable yet secure PIN.

Keep this password safe, as it is essential for accessing your Digital CNH securely.

Step 5: Accessing and Using the Digital CNH

With your Digital CNH configured, you can access the document whenever you need it. Here's how:

Open the app Digital Transit Wallet and select the option “Enabling”.

Enter your Security PIN to unlock the document.

Done! Your Digital CNH will be visible and available to be presented in any situation, such as when approached by the police, for example.
