The New York State DMV Form MV-522.1, titled Personal History, is a mandatory two-page document required for individuals associated with business license applications, including dealers, inspection stations, and repair shops. It must be completed by owners, partners, corporate officers, managers, agents, employees (excluding instructors), and major stockholders holding 20% or more of the business, as well as any individuals newly associated with a licensed entity.
The form collects comprehensive personal and professional data, including Social Security numbers, driver license identification, and a detailed five-year employment history. Additionally, it requires applicants to disclose legal and criminal history, specifically concerning convictions for perjury, false statements related to New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law, and any pending traffic or court charges. Affirmative answers to these questions necessitate a detailed written explanation on the second page of the form, which is used by the DMV to vet the character and eligibility of those operating regulated automotive businesses.
