Spanish term

Motivo por el cual tiene candado

Spanish to English Other Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs
This appears at the end of a Mexican driving record. This question was posted before and translated as Reason for not having a padlock. However, I still don´t understand why the term padlock would appear in this context.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Candado "Candado" typically refers to blocking access to information; and is a fairly common expression in IT jargon, although perhaps not outside of Mexico.

Saludos :))

I think this may be documents to be submitted in order to make the application more secure. Requisites/documents to be submitted for a license application. Could you maybe give a little more context?

Just some further info. This is obviously specific to Mexico; any mexicans here?

Points systme Could this be some sort of points system like in the UK?"Motivo por el cual tiene candado" suggests to me that he has committed some sort of offense and therefore acquired a kind of black mark on his license? Anybody else have any suggestions?

En conferencia de prensa, Armando Quintero dijo que esta nueva licencia tipo "A" será permanente, tiene 19 candados de seguridad y costará 424 pesos
So I guess it is not a suspension or a clause. Any suggestions please? Many thanks

reason for suspension

perhaps the license was suspended(locked)?

Maybe he committed a crime and his license was cancelled because of it?

"Otro objetivo es brindar a los ciudadanos la seguridad de que sus documentos no podrán ser falsificados o utilizados en malos manejos, ya que tanto la licencia como la tarjeta con chip cuentan con 21 candados de seguridad, que las hacen prácticamente infalsificables. "
It's a security system to prevent fraud/illegal copies of licenses!!

21 security levels or 21 security devices

"Transporte del Estado endurecerá los requisitos para la expedición de licencias por primera vez, para que sean similares a los que la Federación maneja, con lo cual, se colocarían “candados” para que el procedimiento sea más selectivo...“Es urgente hacer modificaciones precisamente para la entrega de licencias por primera vez, estamos contemplando poner algunos 'candados' para evitar que la expedición sea en una manera no controlada”, manifestó."

This seems to suggest a kind of security measure in order to obtain the license rather than to prevent forgery....

"‘Candados’

El Gobierno de Coahuila pretende poner “candados” en la expedición de la primera licencia para conducir:

Requisitos actuales:

-Presentar original y copia de una identificación oficial.

-Original y copia de un comprobante de domicilio.

-Pago de derechos por 301 pesos.

-Presentar certificado de manejo, que se obtiene en los módulos de las escuelas de manejo y tiene un costo de 80 pesos (examen teórico y práctico).

Requisitos a agregar:

-Certificado médico.

-Aparte del examen teórico que la persona presente en los módulos, al solicitar la licencia, el Estado aplicará cuestionarios cortos, en varios modelos distintos y que impliquen un conocimiento más significativo del Reglamento de Tránsito, para verificar que se cuente con los conocimientos al respecto.

-Se contemplan nuevos mecanismos para garantizar que el solicitante cumpla con la prueba física de manejo.

FUENTE: Transporte del Estado"

Requisites/documents to be submitted for a license application.

Reference:

candado

La segunda acepción de candado en el DRAE dice:
2. m. coloq. Cláusula de un proyecto de ley, ratificado en ella, que fija o retrotrae su vigencia desde la presentación de tal proyecto.
Quizás esto pueda darte un pista. Por lo menos, ya sabes (y yo también) que "candado" no siempre es "padlock".
