TRF-1 Restores National CNH Rules Following Mato Grosso Block

The ruling prioritizes uniform application of Contran’s simplified licensing model over Mato Grosso’s transition claims.

Overview

  • TRF-1 president João Batista Moreira granted an AGU request and suspended the Mato Grosso injunction, keeping Contran Resolution 1.020/2025 in force nationwide.
  • The court held there is no legal requirement for a transition period and that the new measures may take immediate effect.
  • The decision emphasized avoiding fragmented state regimes and noted the model already operates in 16 states with rollout underway elsewhere.
  • Maintained changes include theory classes in accredited schools or expanded distance learning, practical training outside auto schools with credentialed independent instructors, and authorization to use private vehicles.
  • Testing standards remain unchanged, and the previous 12‑month completion limit was removed so the process ends only upon issuance, withdrawal, or permanent inaptitude.
