FS-15

The NY DMV form FS-15, titled Affirmation Under Section 318(9) and 318(11) of the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law, is a legal document required for individuals seeking to reinstate driving privileges following a mandatory one-year revocation due to an uninsured accident. This affirmation serves as a formal declaration that the applicant has complied with the revocation order and has met specific legal and financial prerequisites for license restoration.

Key components and requirements of the FS-15 process include:

- Purpose: It is specifically designed for motorists whose licenses were revoked following a motor vehicle accident where insurance coverage was not in effect.

- Pre-requisites: Before filing the form, the applicant must have completed the mandatory one-year revocation period and paid a required $750 civil penalty.

- Legal Declarations: The applicant must affirm, under penalty of perjury, that there are no pending legal actions or unsatisfied judgments resulting from the accident that were initiated within one year of the incident.

- Required Information: The form requires personal details (name, address, date of birth), the specific date and location of the accident, and the applicant's role in the accident (owner or operator).

- Submission: The completed and signed one-page affirmation must be submitted along with a new driver license application to the DMV's Insurance Services Bureau to initiate the restoration of driving privileges.
