The application also asks the user to create a four-digit password, which must be used each time the digital document is used.

Esprito Santo and Minas Gerais, for example, do not charge any fees, while Gois has set a cost of $ 10 to be paid by drivers who wish to have the digital document.

4. What is the function of QR Code in CNH?

Conatran Resolution 598, valid since May 2017, states that the National Driver's License must be issued with the QR printed on the back. The code generated by the Denatran system is to prevent fraud and falsification of the license.

The QR Code stores all driver data, including photo, so that traffic officers can check in real time whether physical (and now digital) document information matches that of the database. Official data say that more than 26 million Brazilians have the document with this two-dimensional code.

The Ministry of Cities stated that there is a set of technical standards to ensure the validity of the document. The authenticity of CNH-e is attested by the signature with the issuing agency's digital certificate or reading the QR Code. In the event of theft, theft or loss, the user must block the virtual document through the Denatran Service Portal or by going to a Detran post.

However, drivers should pay attention and download the app only from trusted websites. There are reports on the fake apps network that infect mobile phones with viruses and steal users' personal data. An estimated 17,000 devices have been hacked with malicious programs since December 2018.

Both the printed and digital versions of the National Driver's License are official documents and must be accepted by transit agents. If not, the driver must file a formal complaint within the Traffic Department of the state in which the offense was committed.

CHN-e is also valid as an original document and may be presented on domestic air shipments and public agency identification. It can also be exported to PDF, from the application itself, having the value equivalent to a copy authenticated in cartridge.
