Arabic term

لائق (رخصة قيادة)

Arabic to English Other Certificates, Diplomas, Licenses, CVs driving licence
Hello,

I came across the term لائق in Emirati driving licence. It's on the back page together with سيارة خفيفة and اوتوماتيك.
For these two I know it's for light vehicles and automatic gearbox, but anyone know what لائق stands for here?
It's put in English as "fit", but I'd like to know what's the reason that it was listed on the driving licence and what's deeper meaning. Fit - like a driver is able to drive cars?

Thank you

eligible

I would find 'eligible' easier to decipher as an isolated word because 'fit' can be analysed as a noun, adjective or verb (including past participle).
