  "title": "Eswatini — Application for Initial Registration of a Motor Vehicle (Form MVR1-MIB)",
  "description": "The Road Traffic Department's (RTD) Form MVR1-MIB, \"Application for Initial Registration of a Motor Vehicle\" (Road Traffic Act, 2007; Road Traffic Regulations, 2016), under Eswatini's Ministry of Public Works and Transport — opens Eswatini's DMV vertical (3 of 6: National ID & Civic Documents, Taxes). The \"-MIB\" suffix marks this as the Manufacturer/Importer/Builder variant of Form MVR1: it is filed by (or on behalf of) the manufacturer, importer, or builder first placing a motor vehicle on Eswatini's National Traffic Information System (NaTIS) register, not a subsequent transfer or re-registration between private owners. This v1.0.0 schema is scoped to the single-title-holder core declaration: Part A (Particulars of Title Holder — the manufacturer/importer/builder organisation and its proxy/representative), the Declaration by Owner, Part C (vehicle particulars — role, NaTIS model number, chassis/VIN, make, series name, transmission, colour, gearbox/differential numbers, odometer, and the optional dimension/capacity fields the form's own heading marks \"complete only if different from NaTIS model\"), and the Declaration by Title Holder. The source document itself repeats an identical, structurally distinct \"Part B\" title-holder block (for a second/joint title holder) and prints a note that multiple vehicles may be applied for using additional copies of Part C — both are out of scope for this version and deferred to a future minor version, consistent with this registry's established main-form-now/companion-blocks-later precedent. The source document also bundles Form ACR (\"Application for Certification of Roadworthiness\"), a genuinely separate application/process for testing an already-identified vehicle's roadworthiness rather than registering it; ACR is not modelled by this document and is banked as a separate future-schema candidate. The \"FOR OFFICE USE ONLY\" panel (fees/receipt number, date liable for registration, nature of ownership, authorizing/data-capturing official sign-off, registration-certificate serial number) is completed by RTD staff, not the applicant, and is excluded entirely. GovSchema is an independent, non-profit standards body and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Kingdom of Eswatini, its Ministry of Public Works and Transport, or the Road Traffic Department.",

    "notes": "GOV-4797 (\"GovSchema Standard Research\"). A real-browser re-screen of Eswatini's remaining soft-backlog verticals (DMV, Passport) — flagged by GOV-4790 as unconfirmed with only a plain WebSearch/curl look — found gov.sz's own \"Works Forms\" page (under Ministry of Public Works and Transport, at /index.php/policies-regulations) publishes real, unauthenticated, directly downloadable driving/vehicle forms: LL1 (learner's licence, .xls), PD1 (professional driving permit, .xls), and this document's own source, 'RTD - MVR1 and ACR FORMS.docx' (HTTP 200, `application/vnd.openxmlformats-officedocument.wordprocessingml.document`, 48,931 bytes, sha256 c2ce9f0496d346ad29eee067253bc698c0125cde82b3c0c775d8579cb1bce265, Last-Modified 2025-09-25), no login/CAPTCHA gate. Eswatini's Passport vertical, screened in the same pass, remains a confirmed dead end: the Ministry of Home Affairs' 'Application Forms' page (also on gov.sz) lists only a Temporary Residence Permit form, a medical certificate, a visa form, and a payment schedule — no passport application form of any kind, and the site's own 'International Passport'/'Vehicle Application' deep-links 404 even when followed live from the linking page itself. This cycle's disclosed choice of MVR1-MIB over the bundled ACR form (Application for Certification of Roadworthiness): MVR1-MIB is the more foundational DMV-vertical process (initial vehicle registration, matching this vertical's own 'Tag, Title, Registration' framing) and its own text is unambiguous and complete, whereas ACR shares much of MVR1's identification-block structure but represents a distinct roadworthiness-testing process; ACR is banked as a future companion-schema candidate rather than authored this cycle. Extracted directly from the .docx's own `word/document.xml` (a genuine Office Open XML zip, confirmed via Python's `zipfile` module) by walking every `w:p`/`w:tbl` element in document order and reading each table row's own cell text — a native, unscrambled OOXML text layer, unlike this registry's recurring flat/scanned-PDF extraction cases. See this document's own VERIFICATION.md for the full sourcing record, table-by-table field map, and disclosed scoping/interpretation choices."
