Overview
Did you know? Portugal signed a historic decree to recognize the National Driving License (CNH) issued in Brazil, allowing Brazilians to drive with the same document in Portuguese territory. The measure applies to categories A and B (motorcycles and cars) and eliminates the need to exchange a traditional license, as long as it is within its original validity period. The principle of reciprocity also applies to Portuguese people in Brazil, who will be able to drive with a Portuguese license, reinforcing integration between the two countries. There are important criteria: the document must be less than 15 years old and the driver cannot be over 60 years old, and local traffic legislation must be respected.
