What is CNH Digital?
The digital CNH is the online version of the National Driver's License. Since its launch in 2022, the CNH-e has its digital issuance mandatory in all states. However, the driver is not obliged to adhere to the digital document, as the printed version also continues to have the same validity. But there are some advantages to using the online version instead of the physical one.
If you have your cell phone, you can easily access the document, as the internet is not required. The application uses the QR Code system (scanned bar codes), that is, it is more practical to have access and to give access to the appropriate authorities.
So, even if you forget your wallet or physical document at home or if you have lost it, you can continue driving without any problems with your digital wallet.
It is worth mentioning that the National Driver's License application also provides the car document that is in the name of the CNH holder. That is, there are two documents in a single app. The app also allows the user to share the vehicle's digital documents with other people who can use it.
Thus, CNH-e is a great alternative to avoid fines, for example. The only catch is that your cell phone will need to be charged, otherwise it will be the same as driving without documentation.
