MV-1W

The NY DMV form MV-1W, titled Withdrawal of Consent, is a legal document that allows a parent or guardian to revoke their previously given permission for a minor under the age of 18 to hold a driver license or learner permit. This process is specifically applicable to junior license classes, such as Class DJ or MJ, and is often used if a guardian determines the teen is not yet mature or responsible enough to handle driving privileges. By submitting this form, the guardian requests the immediate cancellation of the minor's driving document, which must be surrendered to the DMV along with the application.

The form requires the parent or guardian to provide their personal information, the minor’s details (including their Client ID number), and a formal signature to certify the withdrawal. Once processed, the minor's driving privilege is terminated until they reach age 18 or until the parent provides a new consent form (MV-44). Notably, consent cannot be withdrawn for 17-year-olds who have earned a full, non-junior Class D or M license by completing a certified Driver Education course. The document serves as a tool for parental oversight, ensuring that guardians can intervene in the interest of safety and accountability.
