A new agreement between Brazil and Italy promises to make life easier for drivers who travel between the two countries.

The Federal Senate approved Legislative Decree Project (PDL) No. 683/2024, which ratifies the mutual recognition of driving licenses.

The measure replaces the previous treaty, which was in effect between 2018 and 2023, and is now awaiting promulgation to take effect.

What Changes With The New Agreement

With the new regulation, Brazilian residents in Italy for less than six years can request the conversion of their driver’s licenses without having to take theoretical and practical tests.

Currently, it is estimated that more than 159,000 Brazilians live in the European country, making this change significant.

Similarly, Italians living in Brazil – a contingent of approximately 800,000 people – will also be able to convert their licenses without extra bureaucracy.

Rules For Converting The Driver’s License

For the conversion to be carried out without the need for exams, some rules must be followed:

The driver’s license must be permanent and within the validity period.
The applicant must have resided in the country for less than six years at the time of the conversion request.
The conversion is only valid for categories A and B, intended for motorcycles and passenger vehicles.
Drivers of categories C, D, and E will still need to undergo specific courses and exams.
The authorities may require medical examinations to verify the driver’s physical and psychological fitness.
The agreement only applies to licenses obtained before residency in the foreign country.
Documents obtained by replacement of driver’s licenses issued in third countries cannot be converted.

How To Request The Conversion Of The Driver’s License

For Brazilians living in Italy, the request must be made at the Motorizzazione Civile, the agency responsible for traffic in the country.

Italians residing in Brazil should send their request to the Traffic Department (Detran) of the state where they reside.

The conversion process follows local regulations and may require documents such as a passport, proof of residence, and a medical certificate.

Benefits Of The Recognition Of The Driver’s License Between Brazil And Italy

The ratification of this agreement brings numerous benefits to citizens of both countries, eliminating additional costs and reducing bureaucracy.

Moreover, it prevents Brazilians and Italians from having to undergo training and retesting to drive in their respective countries of residence.

This ease encourages mobility, benefiting students, workers, and families who travel between the nations.

The measure also strengthens the diplomatic ties between Brazil and Italy, demonstrating joint efforts to facilitate the lives of their citizens.

Now that the Senate has approved the project, the expectation is that promulgation will occur soon, allowing drivers to enjoy this right as soon as possible.

And you, what do you think of this news? Should the conversion of the driver’s license be expanded to more categories? Leave your opinion in the comments!

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

Bricklayers off the scaffolding? New system uses autonomous drones to position bricks and apply adhesive in the air, creating walls with two flying robots working as a team.

City in India turns trash into currency: 1 kg of bottles and plastic packaging becomes a full meal at the “trash café” that has already removed 23 tons from the streets and has become a weapon against hunger, pollution, and landfills.

China has inaugurated in Qingdao what it considers the world’s first solar power plant fully installed over seawater, with capacity for industrial use and large-scale generation, featuring panels that rise and fall with the tides.

A man takes a simple farm cattle trough and transforms it into a fully motorized boat by lining the tank with plywood, sealing everything with epoxy, and installing an outboard motor.

São Paulo sets up a “Wall of Fire” with satellites, artificial intelligence, thousands of cameras, and a partnership with Waze to tackle a severe El Niño, anticipate fire outbreaks, and protect 613 municipalities during the most critical phase of the year.

Brazilian works at 5,200 meters altitude in the Atacama Desert, where telescopes face -45°C and winds of 100 km/h to search for the oldest light in the Universe and investigate the beginning of everything nearly 14 billion years ago.
