DS-1

The NY DMV DS-1 form, titled "Out-of-State Impaired Driver Program Enrollment and Status Form," is a multi-purpose document used by motorists convicted of alcohol or drug-related driving offenses in New York who wish to complete a rehabilitative program in another state. It serves as an official attestation that the chosen out-of-state program meets New York’s specific educational and clinical requirements, including a minimum of 12 hours of in-person instruction and a screening process for further treatment.

The document is divided into sections to be completed by both the motorist and the out-of-state program provider at different stages of the process. Section 1 verifies initial enrollment, allowing the motorist to potentially satisfy court-ordered requirements or maintain a conditional driving privilege, while Section 2 serves as the final certification of completion after all educational and treatment mandates are met. By signing, the motorist authorizes the exchange of information between the provider and the NYS DMV, acknowledging that failure to meet program standards can lead to the revocation of their driving privileges.
