Newfoundland and Labrador? In order to drive a motor vehicle in Newfoundland and Labrador, a person must hold a valid licence for the type of vehicle being driven. A valid Newfound- land driver’s licence is required by all Newfoundland residents who want to drive on the province’s streets and highways. A valid Newfoundland licence is not required by peo- ple from outside Newfoundland who hold a valid li- cence from their own province, state, territory or country, provided that they are seventeen years of age or older. Such people may operate a vehicle for a pe- riod of three (3) months before being required to apply for a Newfoundland licence. The same applies to licenced motorcycle operators who are seventeen years of age or older. How to Obtain a Newfoundland Driver’s Licence Who can get a driver’s licence? Newfoundland has a Graduated licencing system in place. Graduated licencing is a gradual step-by-step licencing process that is designed to help novice drivers, regardless of age, acquire the knowledge and skill needed to operate a motor vehicle. Anyone 16 years of age or older, and who has not been refusedformedicalreasons,mayapplyforaNewfound- land Driver’s Licence. New applicants must: • be sixteen (16) years of age or older • present (at the time of application) proof of age in the form of an official government birth certificate;ora passport;plusoneothersource of identification showing name and date of birth such as a SIN card or MCP. All documents must be originals. Photocopies will not be accepted un- less properly certified. The Graduated Drivers Licence Levels Newfoundland and Labrador has a Graduated Driver Licencing program for classes 5 and 6. For informa- tion on these classes please refer to p.6. Before you can be issued a Level I licence, you will be required to pass a written test and a standard vision test (if you wear corrective lenses bring them with you for the test). The written test consists of ques- tions about the rules of the road, safe driving prac- tices and road sign recognition. A mark of 85% is a passing grade for the written test. Class 6 applicants will be required to do a balance test prior to the writ- ten and vision testing. Fees are charged for written tests which must be paid for prior to writing. Fees are also charged for the Road Used Guide and Air Brake Booklet. When you have passed the vision and written tests, you can apply and pay a fee for your Level I licence. With your Level I licence you may begin your practice driving followingtherulesundertherequirementsoftheclass. When you have passed the vision and written tests, you can apply and pay a fee for your Level I licence. With your Level I licence you may begin your practice driving followingtherulesundertherequirementsoftheclass. 5 The Road Test After 12 months in Level I or 8 months in Level I, with the completion of an approved driver training or motorcycle program for class 5 or 6, you may take your road test. We recommend you contact the nearest office prior to your gradu- ation date to schedule a road test date and time. On the day of your road test, your vehicle will be checked for mechanical fitness and you must present the following: 1. Your receipt for the payment of your road test fee. 2. Your valid Level I driver’s licence. 3. Your valid insurance and registration papers for the vehicle in which you are to be road tested in.
