Got an email from Detran saying that i have to do a tox test to renew my license.  I am cool with that.  Problem is that the tox test has to be done by may 30 or I incur a fine of R$1,500. 00.   I won't be back in Brazil until July.  License expires in July.   Any have info on how i can get a deferral or find a symathetic ear in the Detran offices.

Hire a Despachante to sort this out.  They are the ones in the loop.


Each Detran is a locally run authority. No one here has that fixer you are hoping for.

Thanks for the help.  I will look for one.  Does it matter that my  license was done in Rio, because i am in the sao paulo local now.

If your license is still valid what about exchanging it for an SP license?
