MV-537

The New York State DMV form MV-537, the Road Test Escort Application, is a legal document required for individuals employed by driving schools to transport students to and from official road test sites. Applicants must provide comprehensive personal details, including their Social Security number and driver's license information, along with a detailed five-year employment history. The application process involves rigorous background screening, requiring disclosure of any criminal convictions or past administrative hearings related to government-issued licenses.

The form mandates several specific affirmations: the applicant must agree to act solely as an escort and is strictly prohibited from providing any actual driving instruction in a classroom or vehicle setting. To ensure security and identification, a recent physical photograph must be attached. Applicants are warned that providing false information is a criminal offense that can lead to the denial of the application, as well as the suspension or revocation of both the individual’s instructor certificate and the associated driving school's license. Once completed in blue or black ink, the application is submitted to the DMV Driver Training Programs office in Albany for approval.
