The CNH Validity Period Update Was Made In 2021 To Adjust To New Demands. Until 2020, The CNH Renewal Period Was Up To 5 Years For Drivers Under 65 Years Old And 3 Years For Drivers Over 65 Years Old.
The Decision Came From The Federal Government At The Time, Which Also Made Several Other Changes To The Brazilian Traffic Code (CTB), Aiming To Adapt The Rules To The Current Reality Of The Country. Thus, It Is Necessary To Stay Alert To The CNH Renewal Deadlines So As Not To Pay Fines And, In The Worst Case Scenario, Lose The Right To Drive. Remember The Deadlines:
- For Drivers Aged Up To 49 Years: CNH Is Valid For 10 Years;
- For Drivers Aged 50 To 69 Years: CNH Is Valid For 5 Years;
- For Drivers Aged 70 And Over: CNH Is Valid For 3 Years.
Attention To Penalties
As The Renewal Period For CNH Of Elderly Individuals Over 60 Years Is Short, It Is Extremely Important That They Stay Attentive To The Validity Period To Avoid Suffering Any Consequences From Driving With An Expired CNH. Due To The Short Renewal Period, Elderly Drivers Must Be Aware Not Only Of The Deadline But Also Of The Consequences, Which Are:
Fine Of R$ 293.47, Considered Severe;
In Addition To Paying The Fine, 7 (Seven) Points Are Added To The Driver’s License.
It Is Also Worth Remembering That Drivers Can Drive For Up To 30 (Thirty) Consecutive Days After The CNH Expires. However, Despite The Good Tolerance Period, It Is Essential For The Driver To Renew Their CNH If They Want To Continue Driving Since After This One-Month Tolerance Period, It Is Prohibited To Drive Until The CNH Is Regularized At DETRAN.
