Only drivers with a Class D or Class G driver license may be eligible for a special restricted driver license under Arizona law.
We will send a notice of eligibility to those qualified for the special restricted driver license. Contact us to verify whether or not you are eligible for the special restricted driver license. If you are eligible, we will tell you how to apply.
Yes, for a noncommercial license only.
You must be seizure-free for 90 days, but you must report the seizure to the Medical Review Program as soon as the medical condition allows. At the end of the 90 days, you will be mailed a Medical Examination Report to complete and submit to determine eligibility.
No, but if a physician reports a driver in good faith, the physician is immune from civil or criminal liability for making the report.
It is the driver’s responsibility. As soon as a driver’s medical condition allows, the driver must notify the Medical Review Program (in writing or by telephone) that he or she has, or may have, a medical condition not previously reported, which affects the ability to safely operate a motor vehicle.
You must submit a copy of the vehicle registration and a letter from your physician, stating the medical reason for the request. The information must include your name and license number. Please note this exemption does not include the front windshield of the vehicle.
If you have direct knowledge of a person’s medical status that would affect his or her ability to safely operate a motor vehicle, you may complete a Driver Condition / Behavior Report. Information received by the Medical Review Program is subject to disclosure in accordance with state and/or federal law. Once we receive the form, our only contact will be with the driver. We will not notify you of any outcome.
If you have received a Corrective Action Notice that states you must complete any one of the following tests: written, vision, or road test with us, you do not need an appointment. You may visit any MVD office during normal business hours.
If you have received a request for a medical review and/or knowledge and road test from us, it means we have received information regarding your ability to safely operate a motor vehicle.
The information we received likely came from law enforcement, medical professionals, insurance companies or concerned citizens.
If the requested information is not received within 45 days of the notice date, your driving privilege will be suspended and/or revoked until the information is received.
You may legally drive in Arizona using a valid driver license from another country. An international driving license or permit is not required, but it is recommended because it can be printed in English and used in conjunction with the driver license from the other country. If an international driving license or permit is used alone, it must be issued by a country other than the United States. Vehicle rental companies may have additional requirements.
You will receive a written response via your AZMVDNow account in your documents and by mail within approximately 30 to 45 days from the date the packet was submitted.
You must maintain an SR22 for three years from the date of suspension, unless it is a judgment suspension. Because judgment suspension requirements can vary from case to case, contact MVD to review your record and determine the length of time you need to maintain the SR22 for a judgment suspension.
Failure to maintain proper insurance could lead to the suspension of your vehicle registration, driver license or both. To reinstate these privileges, fees and future proof of financial responsibility must be filed with MVD. The future proof requirement is most commonly an SR22 from an insurance company licensed to conduct business in the state of Arizona.
A judgment is generally a court order issued when someone has had an accident and was not insured. The judgment suspension is placed on the driving record in accordance with the court order.
Depending on the violation, you may be eligible for a phone hearing, or you may send the necessary reinstatement requirements by mail. Contact MVD to review your record and determine what action is necessary.
Please see our revocation page. If the license is revoked, you must submit a Revocation Investigation Packet
