  "description": "Apply for a first Qualified Driving Licence after passing the required tests, replace a lost/damaged/defaced licence, or (for eligible foreigners) renew a Photocard Driving Licence, via the Singapore Police Force Traffic Police e-Services (login with Singpass), on behalf of the Singapore Police Force. This is the DMV analogue to us/ca/dmv/drivers-license-renewal, gb/dvla/driving-licence-renewal-photocard, ie/dttas/driving-licence-renewal, ca/on/mto/drivers-licence-renewal, nz/nzta/drivers-licence-renewal, and au/nsw/service-nsw/driver-licence-renewal, and closes out the DMV vertical's last-but-one open jurisdiction candidate. One document models all three application types (a reason-style routing field, the same pattern used by sg/ica/passport-application), since SPF's own source page presents them as three sections of one e-Services offering rather than three separate services. Scoped to: (1) new-licence applicants who have already passed the required theory/practical tests and training (this document does not model booking or sitting those tests, which happen at a driving centre); (2) Singapore Citizens, Permanent Residents, or foreigners holding a qualifying pass replacing a lost, damaged, or defaced licence; and (3) foreigners holding a valid work pass (work permit, employment pass, student pass, dependant pass, or another pass showing extended stay) renewing a Photocard Driving Licence, including the additional medical-certification gate for renewal applicants aged 65 or above. Out of scope, and not modelled: the driving-centre test-booking/training process itself; renewal of a Singapore Citizen's or Permanent Resident's own licence (the source page's 'Renewal' section is titled, and scoped, to foreigners only — see VERIFICATION.md for this open question); the in-person endorsement-sticker process for an existing licence holder adding a new class; the in-person Singapore Safety Driving Centre renewal path required for Class 4/4A/5 licences when the foreign renewal applicant is 65 or above; and applicants without Singpass access (no alternative channel is described by this source). This document does not submit any application, replacement, or renewal; the live police.gov.sg e-Services and SPF sources are always authoritative (see VERIFICATION.md).",
