• Driver examinations, licenses and registration<br />
<strong>of</strong> vehicles is done exclusively through<br />
private registry agents. A list <strong>of</strong> agents can be<br />
found under License & Registry <strong>Services</strong> in<br />
the Yellow Pages.<br />
• Disabled Parking Permit/License Plate<br />
applications are available from registry<br />
agents. The application must be signed by<br />
a doctor. Parking permits are given to individuals<br />
rather than to vehicles. This means<br />
the permit can be transferred between<br />
vehicles and can be used only when the<br />
disabled person is in the vehicle.<br />
• Medical examinations are required for all<br />
drivers at age 75. If there are no problems,<br />
the license is renewed for five years.<br />
Starting at age 80, medical examinations<br />
are required every two years.<br />
