The agenda also included the delivery of the new Banpará service point in the municipality. It is the 66th banking unit delivered, the fourth only in 2025
The municipality of Santarém, in the Baixo Amazonas region, celebrated its anniversary on the last 22nd, and continuing the celebration of the date, the State Government held an intense agenda of deliveries in the municipality this Friday, the 27th. Among them, the new Regional Traffic Circumscription (Ciretran) that has been completely restructured to better serve the population of the region. The unit of the State Traffic Department (Detran) has new physical facilities and equipment to make the service more modern, agile, and comfortable for employees and users.
Governor Helder Barbalho and Vice Governor Hanna Ghassan conducted the deliveries along with local leaders. Helder greeted all collaborators and beneficiaries of the State Government's programs, actions, and partnerships in Santarém.
“We are in the week of the city's anniversary, and the State Government could not miss being present to carry out these deliveries and provide solutions to the problems that most affect the population. The Detran headquarters in Santarém needed interventions, and with this delivery, we are ensuring primarily a suitable environment for users and employees and more than that, a facility where all the agency's services will be happening here with all modernity, including traffic education for children to interact with schools,” said the governor.
With the capacity to serve more than 200 people per day in the areas of licensing, vehicles, and exams, the Ciretran of Santarém is the largest in the West region and also serves the municipalities of Alenquer, Monte Dourado, Óbidos, Monte Alegre, and Oriximiná. The agency now has a new practical exam track, 100% air conditioning, restrooms for people with disabilities (PwDs), inclusive parking, and a Kids Space. The unit also gained the educational space mini Detranzinho, to encourage traffic awareness among children who are accompanied by adults during the service.
Modern and comfortable, the Ciretran now has new furniture, installation of kiosks, landscaping, computers, and coverage of the inspection area, in addition to other general improvements in the building. The general director of Detran, Renata Coelho, celebrated this delivery, which already totals more than 20 revitalized Ciretrans. “Today is a historic day. This Ciretran is beautiful, modern, and fully structured, with accessibility. It is a recognition from the State Government to the population. Here, we have all the services, such as CNH printing, inspections, and other vehicle and licensing services, therefore a grand Ciretran that now has even more qualified service,” she highlighted.
Banpará service point - During the delivery of the Ciretran, the State Government also delivered to the population the service point of the Bank of the State of Pará (Banpará) that operates inside the Detran agency. The post was also revitalized for the greater convenience of the population accessing the services offered at the Ciretran. The post had its first inauguration in 1993 and will be the 66th banking unit delivered by Governor Helder Barbalho, the fourth only in 2025. Banpará is present in all 144 municipalities of the State, totaling 164 agencies and 35 service points.
The restructuring will allow for better in-person and electronic service and will offer the portfolio of services from Banpará, including account openings, general public service, ATM operations, and in-person service, investment products, and a variety of credit and microcredit options, such as payroll loans, Banparacard, rural credit, real estate credit, solar energy, corporate credit, income tax anticipation, thirteenth salary anticipation, Banpará Community, Credturismo, Fungetur, Empodera, and Banpará Bio. Public service will be from 9 am to 2 pm and self-service from 8 am to 6 pm.
CNH Pai D'égua - The largest social program for the free issuance of the National Driver's License in the country, CNH Pai D'égua, has started issuing the document in Santarém. During the Government of Pará's agenda in the city, 500 CNHs were delivered to beneficiaries from Santarém, Mojuí dos Campos, and Belterra. “There are more than 500 licenses, and we still have more processes underway, so by September, many more free CNHs will be delivered to the population,” anticipated director Renata Coelho.
Targeted at low-income individuals, CNH Pai D'égua was created by the State Government, under the coordination of Detran, to ensure the improvement of beneficiaries' income. In 2024, 60,000 spots were secured in all 144 municipalities, making Pará the Brazilian state with the highest number of people served with free CNH.
The delivery of the document occurs upon the completion of processes by the candidates. This year, several municipalities have already received the licenses, enabling drivers to obtain their first license, renew, or add a category.
