In the United States, New Zealand, Australia, the UK, the [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]] and sometimes Canada, people who drive commercially are required to have permits. The cost of taking the tests and examinations usually means that an employer will subsidize their drivers.

Line 720:
Licensing departments in many countries add an organ donation option on application forms. Sometimes a small picture of a heart or the term ''Organ Donor'' is printed on the driving permit, to indicate the holder's agreement to donate their organs in case of sudden death, such as after a collision.
 
In the United States, this is governed by the [[Uniform Anatomical Gift Act]]. In New Zealand and the Republic of Ireland, willingness to donate organs for transplant is also listed on driving permits. In Australia, the system of notating organ donation requests on permits was replaced in July 2005 with a national registration system and the issue of special cards. In Great Britain (England, Wales and Scotland), code "115" is printed on the reverse of their driving permit to indicate that details are on the [[National Health Service]] (NHS) Organ Donor Register.
