The MV-285R, or Student MV-285 Roster, is an official document used by New York State high schools, colleges, and BOCES to record and report the issuance of Student Certificates of Completion (MV-285). This form acts as a formal registry that educational institutions must submit to the Department of Motor Vehicles to verify which students have successfully finished a state-approved driver education program, including the required hours of classroom instruction and behind-the-wheel training.
The roster serves as a critical administrative link between the educational provider and the DMV, ensuring that student qualifications are properly documented for licensing purposes. By appearing on this roster, students become eligible to receive the physical MV-285 certificate, which allows 17-year-olds to upgrade to a senior Class D license, provides potential insurance premium reductions, and waives the requirement for the 5-hour pre-licensing course.
