RNTRC: Who Qualifies and What You Get

Learn how to obtain the RNTRC to legally transport cargo commercially across Brazil's road networks.

The RNTRC (Registro Nacional de Transportadores Rodoviários de Carga) is a mandatory national registry required for those involved in the commercial road freight transport of goods.

Who it's for

This scheme is specifically intended for road freight carriers. If you operate as a professional involved in the commercial transport of cargo via road networks, you must be part of this registry to operate legally within the sector.

What you get

Registering provides you with the official legal authorization needed to transport cargo commercially. This status is essential for anyone performing transport services for hire, ensuring that your business meets the necessary regulatory standards for the movement of goods.

What it costs you

Obtaining and maintaining your status involves two primary requirements. First, there are registration fees that must be paid to the issuing body. Second, you must ensure that all relevant vehicle documentation is fully updated and compliant to meet the standards required for the registry.

The catch to know

A critical detail that many operators overlook is that this registration is not a one-time process. You are required to update your registration every 5 years to ensure all information remains current and your authorization remains valid.

How to apply

  1. Prepare all necessary vehicle documentation required for transport.
  2. Visit the official portal to begin your registration process.
  3. Complete the required paperwork and pay the associated registration fees.
  4. Monitor your registration status to ensure you update your information every 5 years.
