To obtain a driver’s licence in Newfoundland and Labrador, applicants must complete the  \nGraduated Driver Licensing Program.  \nLicence classifications  \nEach driver’s licence issued in the Province is a classified licence. This means it belongs to a group or category, and allows drivers to operate the types of vehicles listed in that category.  \nYour licence will be classified on its main category and endorsed for other classes of vehicles you may be entitled to drive. For example, you may have a Class 5 driver’s licence, which is also endorsed for Class 6, because you may have a valid motorcycle licence.  \nResidents  \nAny resident who is 16 years of age or older, holds valid ID and who has not been refused for a medical reason, may apply for a Newfoundland and Labrador driver’s licence. A resident is defined as any person who has been living in the province for a minimum of 90 days.  \nVisitors  \nVisitors to the province are not required to hold a provincial driver’s licence if they drive the same type or class of motor vehicle for which they hold a licence outside Newfoundland and Labrador.  \nDriver’s Handbook 1  \nNew residents  \nFrom other parts of Canada  \nIf you have recently moved to Newfoundland and Labrador, you may use your valid out-of-province driver’s licence for the first 90 days of your residency. You must apply for a Newfoundland and Labrador driver’s licence and surrender your old licence to a Motor Registration office within those 90 days. It is illegal to hold more than one driver’s licence.  \nA Class 5 driver’s licence from another Canadian jurisdiction is accepted without testing. Applicants for Class 1, 2, 3 or 4 licences must provide a medical report and pass a vision-screening test.  \nFrom the United States  \nIndividuals taking up residence from the United States can exchange their existing licence for a Newfoundland and Labrador driver’s licence, without taking a written, vision or road test, provided:  \n• you are 17 years of age;  \n• you present the required identification documents;  \n• your existing licence is valid (not suspended, cancelled or revoked); and  \n• your licence, if expired, is not expired more than five years.  \nIf you are exchanging a commercial driver’s licence (Class 1-4), you will also be required to complete a medical report and pass a vision screening test.  \nFrom other countries  \nA valid licence from a country that has a reciprocal or unilateral licensing agreement with Newfoundland and Labrador can be exchanged for a provincial driver’s licence if you present a valid licence of the equivalent class.  \nNewfoundland and Labrador has reciprocal/unilateral agreements with the following jurisdictions:  \n• Class 5 only: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Republic of Korea, Ukraine, and Denmark.  \n• Class 5 and 6: France, Isle of Man, Northern Ireland, Ireland, Japan, Taiwan and Belgium.  \nNOTE: All licence exchanges must be completed at a Motor Registration office. Parental consent for applicants under 19 years of age is required. All other licence classes require testing, medical and vision screening. Applicants must disclose all medical conditions and/or physical disabilities that may affect their ability to safely operate a motor vehicle. All applicants must produce immigration and residency documentation, along with acceptable identification.  \nDriver’s Handbook 2  \nCountries without reciprocal agreements  \nIf you hold a valid driver’s licence from outside Canada, you must apply for a Newfoundland and Labrador driver’s licence when ","cbCaimuYuY35OLbk","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaimuYuY35OLbk","pdf",7762700,166,"English","# Licensing and Registration\n## Who can drive in Newfoundland and Labrador?\n## Residents and Visitors\n## New residents\n## Applying for your driver’s licence\n## Identification documents\n# Road Safety\n## Traffic Signs and Pavement Markings\n## Rules of the Road\n## Motorcycle Safety\n# Information for Commercial Drivers","[{\"question\":\"Who is eligible to apply for a Newfoundland and Labrador driver’s licence?\",\"answer\":\"Any resident aged 16 or older with valid ID who has not been refused for medical reasons may apply.
