Below, we highlight the top five apps that help you obtain your driving license directly from your mobile device.

1. Digital Transit Card (CDT)

Developed by the National Traffic Secretariat (SENATRAN), the Carteira Digital de Trânsito application allows users to store the digital version of the CNH and the Vehicle Registration and Licensing Certificate (CRLV) on their smartphones.

In order to use the app, the CNH must have a QR Code on the back, which is available on issues from May 1, 2017.

In addition to carrying official documents, the CDT offers functionalities such as notifications of license expiration dates and access to recorded infractions.

The app is available for Android and iOS devices.

2. Detran Simulation

For those preparing for the Detran theory test, the Simulado Detran app is an essential tool.

It offers mock tests with up-to-date questions, covering topics such as traffic legislation, road signs and defensive driving.

Each test consists of 30 questions, following the pattern of the official exam, and must be completed within 40 minutes.

The application also records the user's performance history, allowing them to track their progress in their studies.

Available for iOS devices.

3. Detran Digital

Some State Traffic Departments offer their own apps to facilitate access to services related to driving licenses.

Detran Digital, for example, allows users to schedule exams, check results and monitor the progress of the process of obtaining a driver's license.

The functionalities may vary depending on the state, but in general, these apps seek to simplify the interaction between the citizen and the traffic agency.

4. Online Driving School

Autoescola Online is an application that offers complete theory courses for first-time drivers.

With video lessons, study materials and simulations, it prepares the user for the Detran theory test.

In addition, the app provides content on basic mechanics and first aid, complementing the training of future drivers.

5. CNH Popular

CNH Popular is an application that helps low-income candidates sign up for government programs that offer free or discounted first drivers' licenses.

It provides information on the necessary requirements, required documents and application deadlines, making it easier to access the benefit.

The use of these apps not only makes the process of obtaining a driving license more agile and convenient, but also contributes to the training of better-prepared and better-informed drivers.

With resources ranging from studying for the theory test to the secure storage of digital documents, technology is proving to be a valuable ally in promoting safer and more efficient traffic.
