Free Driver’s License for Students: Program Offers 10 Thousand Slots in Piauí with All Costs Covered by Detran
In an unprecedented initiative for inclusion and citizenship, the Government of Piauí launched a program that promises to change the lives of thousands of young people. Applications are open for the Student Social Driver’s License, which will offer 10 thousand free slots for the first category A (motorcycle) driver’s license in the state. This joint action between the State Department of Education (Seduc) and the State Department of Transit (Detran -PI) targets public school students and represents an important step in democratizing access to the right to drive.
Detran Offers Live Theoretical Course Free of Charge
The theoretical training has a workload of 45 hours and will be held on Saturday mornings, live, through the Education Channel, the state’s official platform. The classes will be conducted by instructors accredited by Detran – PI.
In addition to being free, the course is extracurricular and mandatory for approved candidates, forming a fundamental stage of the process. The distinguishing factor is that the student will not pay for any of the stages — from the theoretical part to the practical part. All registration fees, exams, and driving lessons will be fully covered by the Detran’s free driver’s license program.

Free Driver’s License Project of Detran and Seduc Covers 14 Municipalities and 84 Schools
In this edition, the Detran’s free driver’s license program reaches 84 state schools, distributed across 14 municipalities in Piauí. The complete list of participating institutions is available in the official notice published on Seduc’s portal.
The government’s expectation is that the first students will receive their completion certificates by the end of this year, provided they pass the theoretical test and achieve at least 75% attendance in classes.
“With this project, we are promoting traffic education, citizenship, and social inclusion. It is another action of our policy to universalize full-time schools and comprehensive education,” stated the Secretary of Education, Washington Bandeira, when announcing the program.
List of Beneficiaries Will Be Released by May 28
The list of students who will benefit from the Detran’s free driver’s license will be released by May 28, along with instructions on the start of classes and access to educational material. All details of the schedule can be consulted directly on Seduc’s website.
Applications Open Until May 26
Interested parties must submit their applications by May 26, exclusively through the official Seduc website. Students from the 3rd year of regular high school and Adult Education (EJA) can participate, provided they turn 18 before the completion of the theoretical course.
The Detran’s free driver’s license program is aimed solely at students enrolled in the state public network, reinforcing the focus on promoting educational equity and social inclusion.
