If a medical doctor finds that a person whom the doctor has examined falls under one of the categories set forth in Article 103, paragraph (1), item (i), (i)-2 or (iii) and learns that the person has a license or holds an international driving permit or foreign driver's license as referred to in Article 107-2 (this excludes a person whose period of stay counting from the date of landing in Japan (meaning landing as prescribed in Article 107-2) is over one year in total), the doctor may report the results of the person's examination to a public safety commission.
In a case as provided in the preceding paragraph, if the medical doctor asks a public safety commission to confirm whether a person examined thereby has a license, the public safety commission must respond to the inquiry.
The provisions of the Penal Code dealing with criminal breach of confidence and other legal provisions on the duty of confidentiality must not be construed as preventing a person from submitting a report under paragraph (1).
Having received a report under paragraph (1) regarding a person living outside the boundaries of the prefecture over which it has jurisdiction, a public safety commission must report the content of that report to the public safety commission with jurisdiction over the domicile of the person.
