  "description": "The Ministry of Works and Transport's (MOWT) Form 4, \"Application for Driving Permit(s)/Endorsement(s)\", prescribed under Regulation 18 of the Motor Vehicles and Road Traffic Act, Chap. 48:50, and used for a First Issue, Renewal, Duplicate, Provisional, or Endorsement application/transaction against a Trinidad and Tobago driving permit. Opens Trinidad and Tobago's DMV vertical (3 of 6 — Passport and Taxes already published via tt/imd/passport-application-first-adult and tt/ird/individual-income-tax-return). Picked up from CATALOG.md's own Known Gaps entry 0m, a STRONG candidate banked since the GOV-4568 cycle. Models the universal core application (Questions 1-14, completed regardless of transaction type); the form's own Question 15 (a notarized statutory declaration required only of \"Duplicate\" transaction applicants, sworn before a Commissioner of Affidavits) and the companion Form 12 (\"Form of Medical Certificate for an Applicant for a Permit to Drive Motor Vehicles\", completed entirely by a Registered Medical Practitioner based on a clinical examination) are both out of scope for v1.0.0 — see this document's own VERIFICATION.md for the full disclosed scoping rationale. This schema does not submit the application itself; the live source is always authoritative. GovSchema is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago or its Ministry of Works and Transport.",
