Medical examination requirements for vocational drivers aged 65 and older

Media Replies 05 Dec 2024 vocational licence

We thank Mr Lin Tianhe for his feedback regarding the medical check-ups required by the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and Traffic Police (TP) for vocational drivers aged 65 years and older (应统一驾照体检要求和提交流程, 11 November 2024). 

They can use the medical examination they undergo to comply with LTA’s vocational licence renewal requirements, and the accompanying medical report, for submission to TP for the renewal of their driving licence too. This avoids the need for them to undergo multiple medical examinations. Vocational licence drivers are informed of this option in LTA’s vocational licence renewal notification letter. 

We would also like to clarify that TP does not require Class 3 drivers, including taxi drivers, to undergo the Abbreviated Mental Test for driving licence renewal.  

Notwithstanding, we agree that there is room for the processes to be made even more efficient. TP and LTA are streamlining our respective processes to introduce a common medical form by 1H2025.  We are also upgrading our system by 1Q2025 to address the current 2MB file size limitation.
