Structure

The Arizona Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) Packet form is a crucial document for individuals seeking to reinstate their driving privileges after a revocation, particularly due to alcohol or drug-related offenses. This packet includes several forms, each serving a specific purpose in the reinstatement process. The Revocation Certificate (form A) requires applicants to provide personal information and disclose any traffic violations within the past year. For those with alcohol or drug-related revocations, the Court Compliance Statement (form B) must be completed by the court where the last DUI conviction occurred, confirming compliance with court orders. Additionally, the Substance Abuse Evaluation (form C) must be filled out by a qualified health professional, assessing the individual's ability to safely operate a vehicle. Each form comes with detailed instructions, emphasizing the importance of accuracy and completeness to avoid delays. Furthermore, eligibility requirements must be met prior to submission, including the completion of any court-mandated actions and the passage of time since any recent traffic violations. Applicants are advised to contact the MVD before submitting the packet to confirm their eligibility for reinstatement. Failure to adhere to these guidelines can result in the return of incomplete packets, complicating the reinstatement process. Understanding these components is essential for anyone navigating the complexities of the Arizona driving reinstatement system.

REVOCATION

INVESTIGATION PACKET

General Instructions

1. Call before submitting this packet, to determine if you are eligible for reinstatement:

Phoenix 602-255-0072, Tucson 520-629-9808, elsewhere in Arizona 800-251-5866

(Hearing/Speech Impaired–TDD systems only: Phoenix 602-712-3222, elsewhere 800-324-5425)

2.Do not submit this packet more than 30 days after the date that it was signed by a health professional.

3.On form C you must list all DUIs and alcohol/drug related offenses (traffic, criminal and out-of-state), convicted or not.

4.Follow all instructions.

5.Incomplete packets will be returned.

Eligibility Requirements

All of the following criteria must be met before you may submit this investigation packet:

1.Your minimum revocation period has elapsed.

2.If your driving privilege was also suspended, the end of the suspension period must have elapsed as well.

3.If your driving privilege was suspended as a result of a judgment filed against you in court (e.g., for damages arising from a motor vehicle accident), that judgment must also be satisfied. The court in which the judgment was filed is to provide a document to us which indicates that the judgment was satisfied. (A mandatory insurance or financial responsibility suspension1 will not prohibit you from completing this packet. However, some actions may require SR-222 insurance.)

4.If your driving privileges are withdrawn, revoked or suspended in another state, you must satisfactorily complete any requirements necessary to reinstate your privilege to drive in that state.

5.If you have any warrants or pending traffic complaints/violations against you, you must first resolve all court-mandated requirements (e.g., payment of fines or penalties) and obtain a written satisfaction from the court.

6.If you have committed any traffic violations within the preceding 12 months, MVD is not authorized to accept your application for reinstatement until 12 months have elapsed since the date of the violations.

1A “mandatory insurance” or “financial responsibility” suspension generally results from the failure to maintain required minimum levels of insurance on a vehicle titled and registered in your name. Whether the suspension is court-ordered or the result of MVD action, a reinstatement fee will be due at the end of the suspension period. If it is a court-ordered suspension, MVD must receive a clearance from the court before driving privileges can be reinstated. Other actions may also be required, depending on the nature of the suspension.

2An SR-22 is a form of high-risk insurance, or proof of future financial responsibility, which may be required in some insurance-related actions. SR-22 insurance may be purchased from any insurance company authorized to do business in Arizona.

Key Facts about Arizona Motor Vehicle Division Packet

What is the purpose of the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division Packet form?

The Arizona Motor Vehicle Division Packet form is designed for individuals seeking to reinstate their driving privileges after a revocation. It includes necessary documents and instructions for completing the reinstatement process. The packet ensures that all relevant information regarding past offenses, compliance with court orders, and substance abuse evaluations is submitted for review.

How do I determine my eligibility for reinstatement?

To determine your eligibility, you should first contact the appropriate Motor Vehicle Division office. This can be done by calling 602-255-0072 if you are in Phoenix, 520-629-9808 in Tucson, or 800-251-5866 elsewhere in Arizona. You must also meet specific criteria, including the completion of your revocation period and the resolution of any outstanding warrants or traffic violations.

What forms do I need to complete for alcohol or drug-related revocations?

If your revocation is related to alcohol or drugs, you will need to complete three forms: the Revocation Certificate (form A), the Court Compliance Statement (form B), and the Substance Abuse Evaluation (form C). These forms must be filled out accurately and submitted together to the Motor Vehicle Division after being reviewed by a qualified health professional.

What happens if I submit an incomplete packet?

Submitting an incomplete packet will result in its return to you. It is essential to follow all instructions carefully and ensure that all required information is provided. Incomplete submissions can delay your reinstatement process significantly.

What should I do if I have traffic violations within the past 12 months?

If you have committed any traffic violations within the past 12 months, you must wait until 12 months have passed since the date of those violations before your application for reinstatement can be accepted by the Motor Vehicle Division. This waiting period is a critical eligibility requirement.

Who can conduct the Substance Abuse Evaluation?

The Substance Abuse Evaluation must be completed by a qualified health professional. Acceptable professionals include substance abuse counselors certified by the Arizona Board of Behavioral Health Examiners, licensed physicians or psychologists, or federal government employees practicing in Arizona. It is your responsibility to ensure that the evaluation is conducted by an eligible provider.

Where do I send the completed packet?

Once you have completed all required forms, you should send the packet to the following address: Mail Drop 530M, Driver Improvement Unit, Motor Vehicle Division, PO Box 2100, Phoenix, AZ 85001-2100. Ensure that all forms are included and that they are filled out correctly before mailing to avoid delays.

Common mistakes

Filling out the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division Packet form can be a straightforward process, but many people make common mistakes that can delay their reinstatement. One of the most frequent errors is failing to call the appropriate numbers before submitting the packet. It’s essential to check your eligibility for reinstatement first. Ignoring this step can lead to wasted time and effort, as you may discover that you are not yet eligible.

Another common mistake is submitting the packet more than 30 days after it has been signed by a health professional. This is a strict timeline that must be adhered to. If you miss this window, your packet will be returned, and you will have to start the process over again. Keeping track of dates is crucial.

People often overlook the requirement to list all DUIs and alcohol or drug-related offenses on form C. This includes offenses from other states, regardless of whether they resulted in a conviction. Omitting this information can lead to complications and potential rejection of your application.

Many applicants leave spaces blank on the forms, which can result in an incomplete packet. Every question must be answered fully. If you skip questions, the packet will be returned, and you will have to resubmit it. Attention to detail is vital when filling out these forms.

Another mistake involves misunderstanding the requirements for the Court Compliance Statement (form B). This form is only necessary for alcohol or drug-related revocations. Submitting it when it is not required can cause confusion and delay. Ensure you know which forms apply to your specific situation.

Some individuals also fail to resolve any outstanding warrants or pending traffic violations before submitting their packet. This is a critical step. If there are unresolved issues, the packet will not be accepted. You must clear any legal hurdles before proceeding with your application.

Lastly, neglecting to have your forms notarized or signed by the appropriate individuals can lead to rejection. The certification statement must be signed and dated before a notary public or MVD agent. This step is often overlooked, but it is essential for the validity of your submission. Make sure all signatures are in place before mailing your packet.

Documents used along the form

The Arizona Motor Vehicle Division Packet is essential for individuals seeking reinstatement of their driving privileges after a revocation. Along with this packet, several other forms and documents may be required to ensure a smooth process. Each of these documents serves a specific purpose and must be completed accurately to avoid delays. Below is a list of commonly used forms that accompany the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division Packet.

  • Revocation Certificate (Form A) - This form collects basic personal information, including your name, date of birth, and driver license number. It also includes questions about your traffic violations and employment status.
  • Court Compliance Statement (Form B) - This document is specifically for individuals with alcohol or drug-related revocations. It must be completed by the court where you were last convicted of a DUI. The court will confirm your eligibility for reinstatement based on your compliance with court orders.
  • Substance Abuse Evaluation (Form C) - This evaluation must be conducted by a qualified health professional. It assesses your substance use and its impact on your ability to drive safely. The health professional will submit this evaluation to the Motor Vehicle Division.
  • SR-22 Insurance Form - This is a certificate of insurance that proves you have the minimum required coverage for high-risk drivers. It may be necessary if your driving privileges were suspended due to insurance-related issues.
  • Proof of Compliance Documents - These documents may include any court orders or proof of completion of treatment programs that demonstrate you have met all requirements set by the court or MVD.
  • Identification Documents - A valid form of identification, such as a state-issued ID or passport, may be required to verify your identity during the reinstatement process.

Completing these forms accurately and submitting them along with the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division Packet is crucial for a successful reinstatement of your driving privileges. Ensure all required documents are submitted to avoid unnecessary delays in the process.

  • Court Compliance Statement: This form is specifically for alcohol or drug-related revocations. It ensures that the court verifies compliance with any court orders, much like the requirements outlined in the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division Packet.
  • Substance Abuse Evaluation: This evaluation must be completed by a certified health professional. It assesses an applicant's ability to safely operate a vehicle, paralleling the packet's focus on substance abuse and driving safety.
  • SR-22 Form: Often required after certain violations, the SR-22 is proof of insurance. This document is necessary for reinstating driving privileges, similar to the requirements in the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division Packet.
  • Traffic Violation Notice: This notice details any recent traffic violations. It is essential for understanding eligibility for reinstatement, just like the traffic violation questions in the packet.
  • Driver's License Application: This application requires personal information and background checks. It parallels the information gathering process in the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division Packet.

Dos and Don'ts

When filling out the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division Packet form, it is important to follow specific guidelines to ensure the process goes smoothly. Below is a list of things you should and shouldn't do:

  • Do call the Motor Vehicle Division to check eligibility for reinstatement before submitting the packet.
  • Do submit the packet within 30 days of the date it was signed by a health professional.
  • Do list all DUIs and alcohol/drug-related offenses on form C, regardless of conviction status.
  • Do follow all instructions carefully to avoid delays.
  • Don't leave any spaces blank on the forms; provide complete answers to all questions.
  • Don't submit the packet if you have pending traffic complaints or violations without resolving them first.
  • Don't ignore the requirement for a substance abuse evaluation if applicable.
  • Don't forget to have your signature notarized before submitting the forms.

Misconceptions

  • Misconception 1: You can submit the packet anytime after your revocation.
  • Many people believe they can submit the packet whenever they feel ready. However, it’s crucial to submit it within 30 days of the date it was signed by a health professional. Failing to do so could lead to delays in your reinstatement process.

  • Misconception 2: All forms can be submitted without completing them fully.
  • Some individuals think they can leave sections blank if they don't apply to them. This is incorrect. Incomplete packets will be returned, which can prolong the reinstatement process. Make sure every question is answered completely.

  • Misconception 3: You only need to list DUI offenses from Arizona.
  • It's a common belief that only local offenses need to be reported. In reality, you must list all DUIs and alcohol/drug-related offenses, regardless of where they occurred. This includes traffic and criminal offenses from other states.

  • Misconception 4: You can ignore pending traffic violations.
  • Some applicants think they can submit their packet without resolving any pending traffic violations. This is not the case. You must first resolve all court-mandated requirements and obtain written satisfaction from the court before submitting your packet.

  • Misconception 5: A health professional's evaluation is optional.
  • Many believe that the evaluation by a health professional is not mandatory. However, for alcohol or drug-related revocations, this evaluation is a required part of the reinstatement process. Ensure you have the necessary evaluations completed to avoid complications.

Key takeaways

  • Contact Information: Before submitting the packet, call to check your eligibility for reinstatement. Use the appropriate numbers based on your location in Arizona.

  • Submission Deadline: Ensure you submit the packet within 30 days after it has been signed by a health professional.

  • Disclosure of Offenses: On form C, list all DUIs and alcohol/drug-related offenses, regardless of conviction status.
