English term or phrase: endorse
Bonjour,
Je traduis un permis de conduire américain (Pennsylvanie) et ne suis pas très sûre de la traduction de "Endorse" (le terme est employé seul en dessous de la classe et de la date de naissance).
S'agit-il bien du décompte des points?
Y'a-t-il un possesseur d'un tel permis parmis vous qui pourrait me le confirmer?
Merci d'avance!

Explanation:
"All this prompted me to take a closer look at my driver's license. The magnetic strips were added in 1993, according to Klinger, and the bar codes on the back in 2000. Checking the front of the license, "endorse" is a listing of your license endorsements, if any; for example, an "M" signifies an endorsement of you as a motorcycle operator. "Comm/Med Rstr:" lists any commercial or medical restrictions; "L" on a commercial license would mean the driver is restricted to vehicles without air brakes; a "1" is a medical restriction signifying the motorist must wear corrective lenses while driving."

mention


Explanation:
Mention est en fait la traduction de endorsement, et sur le permis indique la catégorie autorisée.
Tu trouveras d'autres occurences en ligne où l'on voit endorsement traduit par mention.
Bon travail
