Hi everyone, does anyone knows what should be done, I have changed my Namibian(South African) driving license to a Brazilian cnh- 5 months ago. Detran keeps telling me to just go back and wait, I didn’t receive any waiting license to drive in the meantime. I am tired of waiting. Any suggestions please 🙏?

Did you carry out all the steps - online application, translation, photo, medical, eye test, phsych exam, possible written test, etc? You should have a confirmation from them, so maybe take that (or print it out online) to a Detran office with a Portuguese speaker if your Portuguese is not good?
