Driver's License

The Consulate General does not issue or renew Brazilian driver's licenses (CNH).

Brazilians can drive in Turkey with a Brazilian driver's license (CNH) or an International Driving Permit (PID) for a maximum period of 6 months from the date of entry into Turkey.

After this period, in order to drive legally in the country, you will need to obtain a Turkish driver's license or apply to exchange your Brazilian driver's license for a Turkish one.
