The NY DMV form MV-278.8SSC is the official order form used by secondary schools, BOCES, and colleges to purchase Pre-Licensing Course Completion Certificate books (MV-278). These certificates are required for students to schedule a New York State road test after completing a DMV-approved 5-hour pre-licensing course or a state-approved driver education program.
The form mandates a fee of $50 per book, with each book containing 50 certificates. To process an order, institutions must submit the completed form along with a check or money order (starter checks and cash are not accepted) and include class rosters (Form MV-278.5N) that account for all certificates issued since their previous order. Orders must be signed by an individual listed on the school’s Authorized Signature List (Form MV-278.6) and mailed to the DMV Utica Processing Center. Failure to provide rosters, submitting incorrect fees, or having an unauthorized requester will result in the order being rejected.
