Registering a car and obtaining insurance as a tourist.

• @Wb104811  OK, so when I got here about a year and a half ago I gave my Brazilian Wife $20k to buy a late model Chevrolet Sedan (she didn't use it all on the car. ) She put it in my name using my Passport. The insurance is on the car vs. anyone's name. In terms of maintenance, we have a Man Friday that maintains the car and drives us around to the grocery store etc. This means that if there are any mishaps on the road, he takes care of it, as well as keeping it in great condition.

You can have two names on the insurance, and you should, but, the license thing may trip you. up there too.

FWIW......

The DL from your origin country is valid to drive for only 60 days from the date of the last entry in your PP. If you DO NOT get the Brasilian one in that time period, the degree of doing so is 3X the pain, and, you need the CRNM to do it anyways.

An international DL issued by your origin country is good for 12 months only.

Not moralizing here bro, but I'd NEVER give any Brasilian GF a vehicle. Just sayin'........my Brasilian wife of 23 years, that's another story. Boa sorte !!

@Gasparzinho 777 I once gave a girlfriend a new car to leave me. 🙃

KKKKKKKKKKK

With a "tanque cheia" I hope........

No, that cost me a few thousand dollars more. 😳

A "tanque cheia" includes gasoline for two or three thousand miles, hotels, restaurants, rent for a few months, etc.
