Where to identify the Renavam numbering

The Renavam is a numbering composed of 11 digits which are registered on the upper left side of the Licensing Registration Certificate (CRLV).

The CRLV is a mandatory document that must be in possession of the driver who is traveling with a car in national territory.

How to look up the Renavam number on the license plate

Although many people believe that it is possible to query the Renavam number at zero cost just by using the license plate, this information is not true.

This is because to view the history of the Renamed it is essential to have the complete numbering made up of the 11 digits + license plate.

Remembering that Renavam is like the car's RG or CPF, so it is not easily provided data, so only people who have access to the CRLV can consult the history for free through the DMV platform.

But, there are many companies that offer car insurance that work with the availability of data, also manage to verify the Renavam only by the license plate, but these consultations are not free. It is necessary to pay a specific plan for this.
