Licenses With More Information
Costa Rican drivers licenses now have more
information than the previous licenses.
As of May 10, all drivers licenses issued
also include the blood type of the driver
and their wish to donate any organs.
The ministerio de Transportes is asking all
doctors to fill in the blood type in the
required form to obtain a drivers license,
failing which the application will be
rejected.
Rosaura Montero, vice-ministra de
Transportes, said that some doctors attach
the medical report but do not check the box
for the blood type.
A medical exam is a pre-requisite to obtain
or renew a drivers license in Costa Rica.
The exam consists of a visit to a medical
doctor who fill out a special form which is
submitted with the license application.
The practice of medical doctors setting up
offices near the driver licensing offices in
La Uruca and other parts of the country is
common. These doctors offices are staffed by
medical doctors with the sole purpose of
providing a medical check and filling out
the drivers license form.
Vice-ministra Montero added that
psychological testing is not yet a
pre-requisite, hinting that it might soon
be.
