Administrative Hearings

One Way Street Sign

If DMV orders a discretionary action against a person’s driving privilege, that person has the right to a hearing before DMV to challenge the action and review the evidence supporting it.

A person must request a hearing within 10 days of receiving notice of the action against their driving privilege. The hearings are recorded and are conducted remotely or in person. The hearing is held before a Driver Safety Hearing Officer from DMV.

Remote Hearings

DMV’s Driver Safety Branch may hold hearings remotely via Microsoft Teams videoconference. Information about your specific remote hearing can be found on your hearing notice:

Hearing Appointment Information in a Notice of Hearing. About halfway down the section, "Join By Video" and "Meeting Passcode" are highlighted.

Instructions for Participating in a Hearing via Microsoft Teams

In order to participate in the remote hearing, you must ensure that your computer or other device supports Microsoft Teams. Because using a computer’s or tablet’s internal microphone can create an unacceptable level of audio feedback, DMV recommends using an external headset or microphone, if possible.

You can join your remote hearing online or download Teams at the Microsoft Teams website. You are responsible for ensuring that your computer or device, as well as internet connection, meets the minimum system requirements for Teams.

You are responsible for connecting to and attending the hearing using the information provided in your subpoena or Notice of Hearing.

If you have questions about attending via Teams or want to request meeting link invitation by email, contact your local Driver Safety Office.

If you do not have access to a computer or other device capable of running Teams, you may connect to the hearing via telephone using the phone number and passcode provided in the Notice of Hearing.
