    Beginning January 25, 2020, applicants for a provisional driver's license in Jamaica will first have to take and pass a road code test at an Island Traffic Authority examination depot before submitting their application. They will submit the completed application form to the depot, where it will be notated if they pass the test. It will then be returned to the applicant to submit to the Tax Office along with the $1,800 fee to receive the license. Those who fail can retake the test without charge on another date. Current provisional licenses will remain valid until expiration, but renewals after January 25 will require passing the road code test first.

    MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT AND MINING

    To: All News Editors For: Immediate Release

    NEW PROVISIONAL DRIVER’S LICENCE PROCESS TO COME

    As of January 25, 2020, the process to obtain a Provisional (Learner) Driver’s Licence will
    change. Persons wishing to obtain a “Learner’s Licence” will now first have to visit any of
    the Island Traffic Authority (ITA) Examination Depots to do the multiple choice Road
    Code Test, as part of the application process.

    The new process will apply to all applicants for a Learner’s Licence to drive and/or operate a
    motor vehicle, including a motorcycle.

    Application forms will be available at all Examination Depots, Tax Offices, or from the website
    of the Ministry of Transport and Mining at www.mtm.gov.jm and Tax Administration Jamaica
    (TAJ) at www.jamaicatax.gov.jm.

    The completed application form, along with three (3) identical certified photographs should be
    submitted to the ITA Depot of choice where the applicant will be allowed to take the Road Code
    Test. The test will be conducted without charge to the applicant. Where the applicant has passed
    the Road Code Test, a notation will be made on the form and the information entered into a
    database shared between the ITA and TAJ. The application form will be returned to the
    applicant, in a sealed envelope, for him/her to submit it to the Tax Office of his/her choice, for
    the Provisional Licence to be processed.

    At the Tax Office the form will be vetted and validated before the applicant is directed to a
    cashier to pay the fee of $1,800 and to be issued the Provisional Driver’s Licence, with the
    payment receipt affixed.

    Should an applicant fail the Road Code Test, he or she will be advised by the ITA to return on an
    appointed date to retake the test. Until further notice, re-sits will be without charge to the
    applicant.

    Provisional Driver’s Licence acquired before January 25, 2020 will remain valid until the
    applicable expiration date. However anyone renewing a Provisional Driver’s Licence thereafter
    will have to first visit an Examination Depot to sit the Road Code Test.

    Applicants who have passed the Road Code Test and have been granted a Provisional Driver’s
    Licence will not be required to re-take the Road Code Test when applying for a renewal due to
    expiration or replacement due to loss of licence, but will therefore proceed to the TAJ with a
    completed application form and other required documents. An applicant for a Provisional
    Driver’s Licence will only have to visit the ITA Examination Depot if he/she has not yet
    passed the Road Code Test.

    It should be noted that “the last day to obtain a Provisional Driver’s Licence without being
    required to first pass the Road Code Test is January 24, 2020”. Therefore, although the
    Portmore Tax Office will be open on Saturday, January 25, 2020 it will not be processing
    applications for Provisional Driver’s Licence.
