Vende tu auto en Brasil

In Brazil the seller issues and signs the electronic transfer authorization (ATPV-e), either digitally in the Carteira Digital de Trânsito app or with notarized signatures at a cartório, and the buyer then completes the transfer at the state Detran within 30 days. If the buyer does not transfer, the seller must notify the Detran or remain jointly liable for fines. Publicar en MotorHangar es gratis y toma unos tres minutos; no necesitas la documentación para publicar.

Paso a paso

  1. Check the vehicle for restrictions Recomendado Vendedor y comprador

    Through the SENATRAN services portal you can check administrative, judicial and financial restrictions on the vehicle that would affect its transfer.

  2. Start the sale and issue the ATPV-e Requerido por ley

    The seller generates the transfer authorization (ATPV-e): in states that have joined the system, in the Carteira Digital de Trânsito app (gov.br account level Silver or Gold) by entering the buyer's CPF and postcode, the mileage, price and date of sale; otherwise at the Detran (in Rio de Janeiro, by appointment at a Detran.RJ unit).

  3. Sign the ATPV-e (app or notary) Requerido por ley Vendedor y comprador

    In the app, buyer and seller each sign digitally with facial biometrics, with no need for a notarized signature; after signing, the seller loses access to the vehicle's CRLV-e. Outside the app, both sign the ATPV-e and have their signatures recognized (reconhecimento de firma) at a cartório.

  4. Buyer completes the transfer at the Detran within 30 days Requerido por ley Comprador

    The buyer goes to the state Detran for the inspection (vistoria) and the issue of a new registration certificate in their name; the Brazilian Traffic Code (art. 123, §1) gives 30 days from the transfer of ownership.

    Código de Trânsito Brasileiro (Lei 9.503/1997), art. 123
  5. Report the sale if the buyer has not transferred Requerido por ley

    If the 30 days pass without the buyer transferring, the seller must send the state Detran, within 60 days, a certified copy of the signed and dated transfer proof (or an electronic document with a valid electronic signature); otherwise the seller is jointly liable for penalties until the notice (CTB art. 134).

Mantente seguro cuando los compradores se pongan en contacto contigo

  • Do not hand over the car on a signed ATPV-e and walk away: until the buyer transfers it, you are jointly liable for fines unless you report the sale to the Detran (CTB art. 134).
  • In the app, sign only after checking the vehicle, buyer, and transaction data shown; once you sign, you lose access to the CRLV-e.
