Q & A

What are the main prerequisites for a candidate to obtain a driver's license in Brazil?

The main prerequisites are: being penally imputable (able to be held responsible for one's actions), knowing how to read and write, possessing a valid identification document (like a driver's ID, passport, etc.), and having a CPF (Cadastro de Pessoa Física).

Why is being 'penally imputable' a critical prerequisite and not just being over 18 years old?

Being penally imputable means the person is legally accountable for their actions, which is distinct from simply being over 18. For instance, someone with a mental disability may be over 18 but still not be penally imputable.

Is there any requirement for proof of educational level to obtain a driver's license?

No, there is no requirement to prove a specific level of education. The only requirement is the ability to read and write, which means literacy is sufficient to meet this condition.

Valid identification documents include the national ID card, work card, passport, military service certificate (for men), and any other government-issued photo ID.
