Brazil's CNH Social program provides free driver's licenses to eligible low-income citizens across various states

Brazil's "CNH Social" program, enacted in June 2025, offers free driver's licenses to eligible low-income citizens. It covers all initial licensing costs, excluding third-attempt exam fees. The program targets individuals 18+, seeking their first license, registered in CadÚnico with incomes up to half a minimum wage per person. It covers medical and psychological exams, theory and practical classes, and initial licensing fees. The CNH Social applies to categories A, B, and AB. While the law is national, implementation details and enrollment vary by state, with many already offering the program.
