Israel Ministry of Transport — Medical Examination Form for Driving-License Renewal (Private/Two-Wheeled/Tractor)

The Ministry of Transport and Road Safety's (Misrad HaTachbura VeHaBetichut BaDrachim) Licensing Bureau (Agaf HaRishui) medical-examination form required for driving-license renewal for private and two-wheeled categories (A1, A2, B) and tractor licenses, mandatory under regulation 196 of the Traffic Regulations, 1961 (Takanot HaTa'avura, TASHCHA-1961), for drivers required to undergo a medical fitness review (notably drivers aged 70+, per the form's own cover letter). Opens Israel's DMV vertical (6 of 6), completing full coverage of all six GovSchema verticals for this jurisdiction. This document models the applicant/license identification header; Section A, the vision-test results table completed by an ophthalmologist or licensed optometrist (visual acuity with/without glasses, visual field, and a four-row binocular-vision/diplopia identification test, per eye and combined); Section B, the parallel two-column medical questionnaire covering 14 clinical topics, independently completed by the applicant (self-declaration) and by the treating/examining physician (clinical assessment based on physical examination, medical-record review, and personal knowledge of the examinee); the physician's declared basis of knowledge of the applicant's history; and the closing signature blocks for the vision examiner, the applicant, and the certifying physician. It excludes the form's own second page, which is a purely instructional cover letter (submission deadline, mailing address, phone/website contact details, and office-visit guidance) with no fillable fields. This document describes the form only; it does not submit anything on the applicant's behalf, and does not imply endorsement by the State of Israel or the Ministry of Transport and Road Safety. GovSchema is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the State of Israel.

Why this schema and why now (GOV-3133, delegated from GOV-3128)

A prior "GovSchema Standard Research" cycle (GOV-3128) opened Israel's National ID vertical and, while scouting, found Israel's DMV vertical (the only one still missing, 5 of 6) already had a strong, unauthenticated, directly downloadable candidate — the Ministry of Transport's medical examination form for driving-license renewal — and filed it as an unclaimed child issue (GOV-3133) rather than authoring it in the same cycle. This cycle (GOV-3138) picked up that unclaimed issue instead of re-scouting, since the source was already confirmed live, and independently re-verified and authored it from scratch.

Sources examined

  • Document (id, version): il/mot/medical-examination-driving-license-renewal / 1.0.0
  • Spec version: GovSchema 0.3.0
  • Authority: Ministry of Transport and Road Safety, Licensing Bureau (Agaf HaRishui).
  • Primary source:
    • Direct PDF: https://www.gov.il/BlobFolder/service/driving_license_renewal/ar/MedicinalExaminationPrati.pdf — independently re-fetched via plain curl with a realistic desktop User-Agent: HTTP 200, content-type application/pdf, content-length 10,428,537 bytes, sha256 a8c97a153617458b4e85c828bbb71f823424dd39c9bacdb4cffdc62961cca7f7. The gov.il service landing page itself (/he/service/driving_license_renewal) returns HTTP 403 (Cloudflare bot-mitigation), but this direct BlobFolder asset path bypasses that challenge entirely — the same pattern already established for every other gov.il-hosted form in this registry (Form DR/1, Form 1301, Form MR/41, the entry-visa application).
    • Extracted via pdfjs-dist (legacy build, pinned to 3.11.174 after the 4.x line failed to render this PDF through node-canvas with a TypeError: Image or Canvas expected in paintImageMaskXObject): 2 pages, getFieldObjects() returns null, and page 2 has only 1 non-data annotation (a hyperlink) — a flat, non-fillable print-and-fill PDF, not an interactive AcroForm.
    • Because this is a dense, right-to-left, two-column tabular form (a parallel applicant-declaration column and physician-questionnaire column covering the same 14 clinical topics, plus a per-eye vision-test grid), raw text-extraction order alone was insufficient to resolve column/row membership unambiguously. Both pages were additionally rendered to 2.5×-scale PNGs via node-canvas and read visually, cross-referenced against the coordinate-sorted raw text extraction (partitioning items by x-coordinate: physician column x<300pt, applicant column x>=300pt) — the same row-offset bilingual/parallel- column grid-reading technique established in the GOV-3101 (Israel entry-visa) cycle. This was decisive: the two columns' item numbers are visually offset from each other (e.g. the applicant column's item 5 sits at the same visual row band as the physician column's item 3) because of differing line-wrap heights, even though they cover the same clinical topic.
    • Sibling forms confirmed live this cycle: MedicinalExaminationMassa.pdf (truck/bus categories, HTTP 200, application/pdf) and HafkadatRisayon.pdf (Vehicle License Deposit Request, ~10 fields, confirmed live in the prior scouting note). Neither is modeled in this version — disclosed as backlog for a future companion-schema cycle.

Scope decisions

  1. Header/identification (idNumber, licenseGrade, licenseNumber, birthYear, renewalDate, existingRestrictions) is modeled directly from the form's own top-of-page identification box.
  2. Section A's leftmost box is boilerplate certifying text ending in a signature line, not a checkbox — confirmed via the rendered image, which shows no checkbox glyphs in that cell (only the vision-test grid's own cells have checkboxes). It is modeled only as visionExaminerStampAndSignature/visionExamDate.
  3. The "מס' עצמים מזוהה" (number of objects identified) column's printed reference counts (2, 2, 3, 4) are static labels, not applicant-facing input — only the adjacent כן/לא checkbox per row is a real field (binocularVisionDiplopiaTestRow1-Row4). The fourth row carries no per-eye label (unlike rows 1-3, labeled ימין/שמאל/יחד) and, confirmed via the rendered image, applies only to this column — no checkboxes are drawn for the acuity/field columns on that row.
  4. Both the applicant's self-declaration column and the physician's clinical-questionnaire column are modeled as distinct fields (applicantQ{N}... / physicianQ{N}...) for each of the form's 14 numbered clinical topics, since they are genuinely completed by two different people and the form's own instructions do not treat one as a subset of the other.
  5. Sub-item breakdowns differ by column and are modeled as printed, not forced into a uniform shape: topic 6 (diabetes) has 4 lettered sub-items on the applicant column (diagnosed / on insulin / recent hypoglycemia / retinopathy surgery) but only 2 on the physician column (recent hypoglycemia / retinopathy surgery); topic 11 (sleep disorders) has the same 3 lettered sub-items on both columns (excessive daytime sleepiness / sleep apnea / narcolepsy).
  6. Topic 4's "circle one" degenerative-disease list (Parkinson's/MS/ ALS/other) is modeled as an enum (applicantQ4DegenerativeDiseaseType) plus a conditional OTHER-specify string, on the applicant column only — the physician column's parallel item does not repeat the "circle one" list as a separate fillable element and is modeled as a single boolean.
  7. Item 14 ("מצורפים סיכומי ביקור עדכניים מרופאים יועצים רלוונטיים") appears only on the applicant column, as a general confirmation checkbox (applicantQ14SupportingDocumentsAttached); the physician column has no corresponding 14th numbered item.
  8. Both documents[] entries the Section B header instructs to attach "for a positive answer to any item" (a specialist consultation-summary document and a signed medical-confidentiality-waiver attestation) use a requiredWhen.any condition (spec v0.3 GSP-0013) listing all 18 of the applicant column's own top-level boolean questions. The physician-column fields are deliberately excluded from this trigger: the instruction is printed directly under the applicant-declaration header, addressed to the applicant completing that column, not the physician's own separate follow-up note (a referral action, not an attachment requirement).
  9. The physician's basis-of-knowledge declaration ("אישור הרופא") — three mutually-exclusive checkboxes for being the applicant's regular treating physician of 3+ years, treating a recent immigrant of under 3 years, or having reviewed the applicant's records at every HMO from the past 3 years — is modeled as physicianKnowledgeBasis, with a conditional hmoName required under the first two options (which each print a "בקופ״ח ___" blank; the third option does not).
  10. Page 2 is excluded: it is a purely instructional cover letter (submission deadline, mailing address, phone/website contact, and branch-visit guidance) with no fillable fields, following this registry's established convention of excluding purely instructional pages/sections.

Conformance fixtures (Phase 3)

8 fixtures committed under conformance/il/mot/medical-examination-driving-license-renewal/1.0.0/: 2 valid scenarios plus 6 mutation-control fixtures, each derived from a valid fixture by a single targeted mutation. All 8 were run against a from-scratch, ephemeral field-by-field conformance checker (derived directly from this schema's own fields[]/documents[]/requiredWhen conditions, not committed to the repo) before being finalized:

  • valid-clean-medical-history.json (no positive Section B answers) — 0 errors.
  • valid-diabetes-and-sleep-apnea-history.json (positive diabetes/ hypoglycemia and sleep-apnea history, triggering the conditional hypoglycemia-event-date field and both requiredWhen documents) — 0 errors.
  • mutation-control-missing-required-field.json (drops licenseNumber) — exactly 1 error.
  • mutation-control-missing-degenerative-disease-type.json (drops applicantQ4DegenerativeDiseaseType while applicantQ4DegenerativeDiseaseDiagnosed is true) — exactly 1 error.
  • mutation-control-missing-hypoglycemia-event-date.json (drops applicantQ6HypoglycemiaLastEventDate while applicantQ6RecentHypoglycemia is true) — exactly 1 error.
  • mutation-control-missing-hmo-name.json (drops hmoName while physicianKnowledgeBasis is REGULAR_TREATING_PHYSICIAN_3_YEARS) — exactly 1 error.
  • mutation-control-invalid-license-grade.json (sets licenseGrade to C, not in the enum) — exactly 1 error.
  • mutation-control-invalid-date-format.json (sets renewalDate to 09/01/2026, not ISO 8601) — exactly 1 error.

The same checker script confirmed every requiredWhen field/document reference in this schema resolves to a real field name (0 dangling references).

Structural validation

  • node tools/validate.mjs (full registry, post-add) — 474/474.
  • node tools/validate-ajv.mjs (full registry, post-add, ajv 2020-12 against spec/v0.3) — 474/474.
  • node tools/verify-sources.mjs — checked; the direct BlobFolder PDF URL this schema's source.url cites resolves cleanly on a fresh fetch.
  • npm run build-index re-run in tools/govschema-client/ to regenerate registry-index.json with this document included.

Maturity

structural-reference: the source PDF's own printed structure (both pages) is fully transcribed from the genuine, currently-served official form (a flat print-and-fill PDF, not an interactive AcroForm), but no live filing through the Ministry of Transport's own channels was attempted. GovSchema is an independent, non-profit standards body and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the State of Israel or the Ministry of Transport and Road Safety.
