The new permits that will allow new drivers to learn how to operate motor vehicles will include some interesting new features. The new permits will include biometric data, fingerprints, and allow the Director of Surface Transit (DGTT) to create a database of drivers. The head of the DGTT office, Rafael Crespo, said that his staff have found that some people try to obtain permits with fake or cancelled personal identification cards (“cedulas”). The result of this experience led the department to design a system that allows the different institutions that deal with transit issues to review and search out citizens that need to be found. AMET, the National Police, the Immigration Department and the Passport Office will be part of the program. The new permit process is also connected to the Central Electoral Board, the Ministry of the Interior and the Police, the Attorney General’s office and the Internal Revenue department.
