In 2026, more than 16,000 residents of Acre have utilized the CNH do Brasil app to apply for their first National Driver's License (CNH), according to the Brazilian Ministry of Transportation. By January, a total of 125 CNHs had already been issued through the app. This initiative reflects a shift towards digital solutions to make the process of obtaining a driver's license more accessible and efficient for residents.

The Ministry noted that under the new rules implemented in January 2026, the overall cost of obtaining a CNH has decreased by approximately 70%. Additionally, the time required to complete the licensing process has also been reduced, allowing candidates to obtain their licenses more quickly. As of January 24, 2026, 10,289 candidates successfully completed all the necessary steps to receive their first CNH in just the first two months of the year.

These changes signal a broader trend aimed at modernizing the driver's licensing process across Brazil, leveraging technology to enhance service delivery and reduce bureaucracy. The advantages of using the app could potentially encourage more residents to apply for their licenses, thereby promoting safer driving and better regulation of traffic in the state of Acre.
