Surrendering a Driver's License

Customers who choose to stop driving may voluntarily surrender their driver’s license by visiting a DDS Customer Service Center and completing the Affidavit for Voluntary Surrender (DDS-577); they can also apply for an ID at that time, but not online. If they later wish to reinstate, they may be required to retest depending on their situation. If a relative, court, law enforcement officer, judge, doctor, or concerned citizen believes someone’s driving ability is diminished, they can ask DDS to review the case, including by using the Request for Driver Review form  (PDF, 297.37 KB) available via the button in this section.
