DMV creates exclusive page for old and collector’s vehicles

Detran-SP has launched an exclusive page to centralize services aimed at collectors and owners of old vehicles. The new digital environment aims to reduce bureaucracy in cadastral regularization, bringing together in one place the updating of the old yellow plates, the issuance of historical certificates and the obtaining of the coveted black plate.

The measure responds to a heating up of the sector: the fleet of collectibles in the state grew 43% compared to 2023, totaling today more than 76 thousand certified units.

End of the yellow license plate and risk of seizure

One of the crucial points of the new tool is the regularization of vehicles that still bear the yellow two-letter plates, a standard that has been extinct for decades. These cars are not included in the updated national database (Senatran). According to the legislation, circulating with this identification is an infraction that leads to the immediate collection of the vehicle to the yard.

To avoid apprehension, the owner must request the registration update through the page and exchange it for the Mercosur standard. The cost is R$ 469.91, an amount that already includes the annual licensing and the issuance of the new document. The portal also offers the “Vehicle Certificate with Yellow Plate” free of charge, a document that proves the existence and history of the asset for legal or inventory purposes.

Strict criteria for the black plate

For purists, the black plaque works as a certificate of historical value, and not just aesthetic. To obtain it, the vehicle must have been manufactured for more than 30 years and preserve the original characteristics of mechanics, bodywork and upholstery.

The bureaucracy requires the owner to be affiliated with a collectors’ club and present the Collector’s Vehicle Certificate (CVCOL), in addition to the vehicle safety report. The fees for this certification vary: R$ 295.83 for vehicles already licensed in the current year, or R$ 469.91 for complete regularization.
