The initial driver's license classification for applicants of a new license is the Non-Professional Driver's License (NPDL). Applicants first obtain a student permit to practice driving under supervision. After fulfilling the requirements and passing the necessary exams, they can apply for the NPDL, which allows them to drive private vehicles without being accompanied by a licensed driver. This classification is for those who do not intend to drive public utility vehicles or vehicles for professional use. The Professional Driver's License (PDL) is for those who drive for a living and is not the typical initial classification for most new applicants.
