The NY DMV MV-58A form, or Certificate of Employment, is a legal document required for junior drivers (Class DJ or MJ) and limited junior license holders to drive unaccompanied to and from their place of work. To be valid, the form must be completed and signed by an employer, certifying that the licensee is employed on a regularly scheduled basis for at least four consecutive weeks, working at least once per week.
The document specifies the exact days and hours of employment and requires the driver to carry the certificate at all times while commuting.
Usage of this certificate is subject to strict regional and temporal restrictions under New York's Graduated Driver License Law. It generally allows junior drivers to commute after 9 p.m. in most areas of the state, but it is never valid for driving within New York City.
In Nassau and Suffolk counties, it only permits unaccompanied driving between 5 a.m. and 9 p.m., though an exception exists for farm employment. Crucially, the certificate only covers travel between home and the workplace; it does not authorize the licensee to drive as part of their work duties, such as making deliveries or engaging in sales.
