DS-2

The New York State DMV form DS-2, titled Universal Notice of Re-entry

- Impaired Driver Program, is a critical document used by Impaired Driving Program (IDP) Directors to facilitate a client’s return to the program after being dropped for cause. The form serves as official authorization for the DMV to allow a motorist to re-enroll in the IDP and, if eligible, to be re-issued a conditional driver license. It requires the IDP Director to provide specific details regarding the client's status, including the date they were dropped, the program number, and the necessary steps for completion, such as attending all seven sessions or resuming required assessment and treatment activities.

The document includes several options for the Director to specify the nature of the re-entry, such as allowing the client to choose from scheduled courses, re-entering with a specific course code, or transferring to a different IDP program. By completing this form, the Director confirms the client's eligibility to continue the rehabilitation process required by the DMV for individuals with a history of alcohol or drug-related driving violations. Successfully navigating this re-entry process is often a mandatory step for motorists seeking to restore their full driving privileges in New York State.
