  "title": "Austria Driving Licence Application — Führerscheinantrag (Anlage 3)",
  "description": "Austria's driving-licence request form, 'Führerscheinantrag' (Anlage 3 to the Führerscheingesetz-Durchführungsverordnung, published as BGBl. II Nr. 472/2012), used to request a duplicate driving licence, exchange of a foreign or military driving licence, entry of a code-95/96/111 sub-category, conversion to the credit-card licence format, reinstatement or reissuance of driving entitlement following expiry/withdrawal/renunciation, or renunciation of entitlement for one or more classes. This is a service/amendment form for an existing driving entitlement, not first-time issuance (Austria's driving-school-mediated first licence has no standalone specimen form). Modelled from the current flat (non-fillable) 2-page PDF specimen published on the Rechtsinformationssystem des Bundes (RIS), the Republic of Austria's official legal-gazette system, as an annex to the underlying regulation; cross-checked against a second, textually identical copy (same field labels and layout, differing only in the omission of the RIS gazette citation/watermark lines) mirrored in the Bundesministerium für europäische und internationale Angelegenheiten's (BMEIA) central forms library and linked from a live Austrian embassy citizen-services page. The form has no AcroForm fields at all (a flat, print-and-fill specimen); every field below was reconstructed from the PDF's own text layer (glyph x/y coordinates) correlated against its checkbox/table graphics (traced via a rendered raster of the page, since the vector text failed to rasterize in this session's renderer while the surrounding lines/boxes rendered correctly). Page 2 ('Nachweise' / 'Behördliche Verfügungen') is entirely completed by the issuing authority and its caseworker after submission (identity/residence/health verification, licence production, serial numbers, and the applicant's own later in-person pickup-confirmation signature at collection) and is deliberately excluded from fields[] as office-only processing, consistent with this registry's convention for paper forms with a back-office section. GovSchema is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Republic of Austria, the Bundesministerium für Inneres, the Bundesministerium für europäische und internationale Angelegenheiten, or any Austrian driving-licence authority (Bezirkshauptmannschaft/Landespolizeidirektion).",

    "notes": "GOV-4100: GovSchema Standard Research cycle. Closes Austria's DMV vertical, the jurisdiction's only remaining open vertical after GOV-4094 closed National ID — Austria now has all 6 verticals modelled. Fetched the RIS-hosted specimen fresh (HTTP 200, application/pdf, 612,300 bytes) and independently re-fetched the BMEIA mirror (HTTP 200, application/pdf, 114,352 bytes) the prior cycle's backlog note had flagged as byte-identical; the two copies are NOT byte-identical (different sizes/SHA-256, likely re-encoded/optimized independently) but their extracted text layers are identical string-for-string once the RIS copy's own gazette citation/page-marker/watermark lines ('BGBl. II - Ausgegeben am 21. Dezember 2012 - Nr. 472', '1 von 2'/'2 von 2', 'www.ris.bka.gv.at') are excluded — a genuine correction to the prior cycle's byte-identity claim, though the underlying cross-source consistency it was gesturing at holds. The PDF carries zero AcroForm widgets (getAnnotations() returns an empty array on both pages) — a flat print-and-fill specimen, unlike the sibling National ID form's fillable AcroForm. All fields were reconstructed from the text layer's own glyph x/y coordinates (pdfjs-dist getTextContent()), grouped into rows/columns by shared y-coordinates and correlated against the page's checkbox/table graphics: since this session's node-canvas renderer failed to rasterize the embedded vector text (glyph-path resolution errors on every character, a renderer-side font-substitution failure, not a source defect) while correctly rendering the surrounding lines, table borders, and checkbox squares, checkbox positions were instead recovered by a pixel-level scan of the rendered raster (column-wise dark-pixel-run detection) and matched 1:1 in strict left-to-right order against the text layer's own label sequence — most decisively for the 'Beantragte Klassen/Unterklassen' licence-class row, where the scan found exactly 20 checkbox squares in the same left-to-right order as the 20 class-code labels extracted from the text layer (AM, A1, A2, A, B, BV, C1, C1 95, C, C 95, D1, D1 95, D, D 95, F, BE, C1E, CE, D1E, DE), confirming a clean 1:1 correspondence despite uneven inter-checkbox spacing (wider cells for the multi-character 'C1 95'/'C 95'/'D 95' labels). One genuine unresolved ambiguity is disclosed rather than silently resolved: the class-code token 'BV', printed between 'B' and 'C1' in that same 20-entry checklist, does not correspond to any driving-licence class documented in Austria's Führerscheingesetz (§2) that this cycle could find a citation for (unlike every other token in the row, all of which are standard EU-harmonised class codes or their code-95/96 sub-variants); it is modelled as printed (field 'licenceClassBV') without inventing a gloss for it, since the text extraction is a faithful Unicode transcription (not a rendering artifact — text extraction and glyph rasterization are independent code paths in pdfjs-dist, and the same string round-trips identically from both the RIS and BMEIA copies). Three checkbox groups are modelled as independent boolean fields per option (not a constrained single-select), matching this registry's established convention for flat, non-AcroForm checklists with no radio-group grouping evidence available (e.g. the GOV-1947/GOV-1953 Ontario forms, the NO driving-licence-application licence-class checklist): the 8-option 'reason for duplicate' matrix, the 6-option 'reason for exchange' matrix, and the 20-option licence-class checklist are all left uncoupled, since nothing on the flat page enforces mutual exclusivity and an applicant plausibly could tick more than one applicable reason. The 3-option delivery-method choice ('Behörde'/'Wohnadresse'/'sonstige Adresse') is the one place a real-world exclusivity constraint is asserted (a licence can only be delivered to one place), modelled via exclusivityGroups; the sibling 'Express' checkbox is left out of that group as an independent delivery-speed modifier applicable regardless of method. Both validators pass at 565/565; 9 conformance fixtures (2 valid + 7 mutation-control) checked against an ad-hoc ajv schema built from the document's own field constraints. See CATALOG.md's Known Gaps section for the companion Netherlands Visa candidate banked the same cycle as this one and left as open backlog."
