Digital CRLV: Learn how to issue and use the electronic document

THE Digital CRLV has emerged as an alternative to the physical document, providing greater convenience and ease for vehicle owners.

With the same validity as the printed version, it can be obtained free of charge by individuals and companies.

Below, we'll cover how the Digital CRLV works, how to issue and use the document, always following the established guidelines.

The Digital CRLV is the electronic version of the Vehicle Registration and Licensing Certificate (CRLV), containing the same information as the printed document and having equivalent legal validity.

Issued annually by the state Traffic Departments (Detran), the regularized CRLV allows the vehicle to circulate throughout Brazil.

Obtaining the CRLV depends on paying for the vehicle's annual license. Since July 2020, all Detrans in the country have made the digital version of the document available.

How to obtain the Digital CRLV

To obtain the Digital CRLV, you need a device with internet access. The process varies for individuals and companies, as described below:
