Minister of Transport States That Agility Is Crucial for Trust in the Process and That the Driving License Without Driving School Will Not Pass Through the National Congress.
The Minister of Transport, Renan Filho, declared that the implementation of the Driving License Without Driving School should occur still in 2025. The statement, made during an interview on the EBC program “Good Morning, Minister” this Wednesday (29), and reported by CNN, highlights the government’s urgency to change the rules for obtaining the National Driver’s License.
The main justification for the hurry is to avoid that the population “loses trust” in the process if it drags on. Renan Filho emphasized that the change will not depend on approval from the National Congress, as it will be implemented through a ministerial resolution, and not by a bill.
The Path via Resolution and the Role of Congress
The minister detailed, according to CNN, why the change in the Driving License will not follow the traditional legislative procedure. “If the project were to go to the National Congress, people think that it takes too long and there are many people waiting to obtain this license,” explained Renan Filho in the interview with EBC. The strategy of using a resolution allows the Ministry of Transport to act in a more direct and agile manner.

Although the final decision does not go through the plenary, Renan Filho mentioned that the Legislative can “contribute to the debate”. However, he emphasized that the population “does not want” Congress to act in ways that increase the costs of services. This statement, reported by CNN, reinforces the government’s position that the measure seeks, above all, to achieve cost reduction for citizens, going against what, according to him, could happen if the issue were legislated.
The New Proposed Model for Licensing
The central proposal that allows the Driving License Without Driving School fundamentally changes the candidate’s journey. The project, led by the Ministry of Transport, envisions that citizens will be able to choose how to prepare for the mandatory exams, both theoretical and practical, which will be maintained and continue to serve as the basis for the issuance of the document.
In practice, candidates would no longer need to be mandatory enrolled in a Driver Training Center (CFC), the traditional driving schools. The alternative will be hiring independent instructors, as long as they are duly accredited and follow the established rules by the competent traffic authorities.
Financial Impact and Accessibility of the Driving License
The main objective of the measure, as defended by the government and reported by CNN, is to make the Driving License more accessible. The Ministry of Transport estimates that the high cost of the current process, which varies between R$ 3,000 and R$ 4,000 depending on the region, is a significant financial barrier for many Brazilians.
The government points out that around 20 million people in Brazil currently drive without a license, many of them due to this cost barrier. With the new model, which allows for a Driving License Without Driving School, the expectation is that expenses could be reduced by up to 80%. It is crucial to note, however, that this savings applies to training costs (lessons), and not on the various fees charged by the traffic departments for conducting exams and issuing the document.
Public Consultation and Next Steps
To maintain the accelerated timeline and implement the change in 2025, the process is in the final phase of public consultation. The minister emphasized that the deadline for the general population and industry entities to provide contributions on the topic ends this Sunday (2).
After the public consultation ends, the Ministry of Transport is expected to consolidate the suggestions and finalize the text of the resolution that will regulate the Driving License Without Driving School. If Renan Filho’s schedule is maintained, the official publication and the beginning of the enforcement of the new rules will occur in the coming months, enabling implementation still in 2025.
The proposal to allow the Driving License Without Driving School represents one of the most significant changes in the Brazilian licensing process in decades. While the government focuses on cost reduction and the inclusion of millions of currently unlicensed drivers, the driving school sector watches the movement with concern, fearing the impact on the market.
