Licensing 2026: Detran-BA informs calendar and how to issue CRLV

The Vehicle Registration and Licensing Certificate (CRLV) must be renewed annually so that the driver can circulate with his car. This occurs automatically with the payment of the Motor Vehicle Property Tax (IPVA) and the Annual Vehicle Licensing Renewal Fee (TRLAV).

The Bahia Traffic Department (Detran-BA) has already released the dates and values of the 2026 licensing. Once paid, the new document can be accessed through the CNH do Brasil application, the Senatran service portal or the Detran website.

When does BA 2026 licensing release?

In Bahia, the TRLAV is paid together with the IPVA, until the deadline of the single quota (with or without discount) or the fifth installment in case of installments. The tax calendar, which also includes licensing, varies according to the end of the vehicle’s license plate and the form of payment:

For the process to be complete and the driver to be able to issue the CRLV, in addition to paying the fee and the IPVA, it is necessary that he has also paid all traffic fines and pending issues associated with the vehicle.

How to pay TRLAV BA

The government makes life easier for vehicle owners by offering the option of payment in cash, at any banking institution, via PIX. Bringing together IPVA in a single quota, licensing fee and possible fines, integrated licensing can be carried out 100% digitally through the ba.gov.br platform:

1. Access the Detran BA website;
2. Select the “Step 1: Licensing/Infraction” field;
3. With the vehicle’s RENAVAM number, check the amount and date of payment;
4. After verification, return to the home page and click on “Step 2: Apply for DAE”;
5. Click on “request” to do the process online and log in with Detran registration or through gov.br;
6. Search for the service: “Pay single quota licensing – Issuance of DAE”;
7. Enter the data requested by the platform;
8. Issue the guide and make the payment of the DAE;
9. Wait for the bank clearing deadline (up to 48 hours) and follow the progress of the request in “My Services”
10. Issue the CRLV-e.

This process can also be done outside in person at a Detra BA service station.
