I have a restricted use license issued in NJ and need information about driving in NY.
================
Do you meet NY requirements for obtaining a restricted license?
Yes, I do.
Great. You can receive a restricted license to drive in NY. The restrictions will be the same as the same as the restrictions for a driver with a NY driver license.
================
Where can I apply for the restricted driver license?
You have to apply in person at a DMV office. Most DMV offices have this service, but you should contact your nearest office to make sure you can apply there.
================
What is the difference between restricted and conditional licenses?
Conditional licenses are issued by DMV to a qualified driver whose NY license has been suspended or revoked due to an alcohol or drug violation.
Are there any other requirements for obtaining a conditional driver license?
Yes, the driver must also attend an Impaired Driver program that's been approved by the DMV.
================
What about restricted licenses? What makes them different from conditional licenses?
Restricted use licenses are issued by DMV to a qualified driver who has had their license suspended or revoked because of violations that do not involve alcohol or drugs.
