Given this initial explanation, let's get to the point, see how to issue your digital CRLV in a few simple steps.
The process is simpler than you might imagine and only takes a few minutes.
Digital CRLV: CDT – Digital Traffic Card
The Vehicle Registration and Licensing Certificate, or CRLV, is an extremely important document.
Fortunately, the digital document has the same weight as the printed, physical document, which brings security to the driver.
One of the ways to obtain the digital CRLV is through the Digital Traffic Card or CDT application.
This application can be easily downloaded to your cell phone from your smartphone's application store.
The CDT app is available for both Android and iOS.
After downloading, you will need to log in with your Government account. To do this, enter your CPF and registered password.
If you do not have a Gov account, you will need to register in advance and then return to the application.
After logging in, click on CNH and add CNH.
If your application is not enabled, you will need to authenticate. Authentication will be done through data validation.
Among the data that can be validated to grant access is your cell phone.
When opting for phone number validation, you must provide your zip code and the date of issue of your physical card.
Then perform validation of your phone and facial recognition. Ready, your driver's license will be available.
Now that the driver's license is available, it's time to obtain the digital CRLV.
Issuing the digital CRLV with the CDT
After logging into the application, click on Vehicles and then enter the requested information from CRV as well as Renavam.
In fact, once you have done this, click on include and your digital document will now be available on your smartphone.
You can either download and save the PDF file or leave it in your CDT application.
In short, it is worth mentioning that if you use the CDT application, you will need an internet connection to access it, which is not always possible.
Obtaining the CRLV through the Detran website
As mentioned previously, you can also obtain your digital CRLV through the Detran website itself.
The process is equally simple and takes no more than a few minutes.
Here we will teach you the usual way. You may be prompted for certain commands or additional information.
This can happen especially due to the state you are in and also the department responsible.
The process on the Detran website is very similar, what happens is that it is not practical to do it through an application designed for mobile.
In the case of the website, in the top menu, under User, log in by accessing your Gov account.
The process is actually similar to that of the application and you must enter your CPF and registered password.
If you do not have an account, you will need to register in advance, otherwise you will not be able to log in.
How to create your account
To create your Gov account, the simplest process is by CPF, in which it will be essential to inform your CPF, as well as your full name.
In addition to these initial data, you will need to confirm that you are not a robot and also agree to the terms of use.
You will need to enter your email as well as create a password for future logins to the website or application.
After creating your account, you will need to log in again.
Digital CRLV via the Detran website
Log in with the account you just created, providing your CPF as well as the previously registered password.
Click on authorize and then go to the menu and Download CRLV.
As mentioned previously, according to each state the function can be in a different place. Be careful to locate it.
Enter the Renavam and CRV data on the page that opens. Also enter the license plate number and click to proceed.
To download your document, simply click on the CRLV PDF. The download will start automatically.
In the case of cell phones, you need to pay attention to the directory where the downloads are being saved. On the computer you can choose the location.
How to choose between the options
- Last updated. An application that has been dormant for more than a year is likely to break in the next system version.
- Recent reviews. Read the newest release notes, not the old ones: that's where problems that arose in the latest versions appear.
- File origin. Always install from the official store. APK files from random websites are the main vector for malware on Android.
- Permissions requested during installation. Compare this to what the app actually does. Accessibility or device administrator requests require extra attention.
What these apps don't do
This is the part that almost no list mentions, and it's precisely what separates expectation from result.
- There is no legitimate free version of a paid app. What circulates as a 'mod' or 'unlocked premium' usually comes with malware.
- Disabling Play Protect to install something is precisely the step that opens the device up to banking trojans.
- An app removed from the official store was usually taken down for violating policy—reinstalling it from elsewhere will recreate the problem.
- Downloading does not guarantee compatibility: features that rely on missing hardware will not work, even if the app is installed.
Common questions
Is it safe to install APKs from outside the app store?
It's not recommended. The store verifies applications; a standalone file doesn't go through this check.
The app isn't showing up in the store search results. What now?
It may be unavailability in your region or incompatibility with the device. It's worth looking for an official alternative.
How do I free up space for installation?
Uninstall what you don't use, clear the cache of larger apps, and move photos to the cloud.
Does installing too many apps slow down your phone?
What really weighs the load is what's running in the background. Check the usage per app in the settings.
Can it be installed on a memory card?
Some devices allow you to move parts of the app, but performance usually drops.
