CA DMV Form DS 694. Application for Critical Need Restrisction

The Form DS 694 is used to apply for a Critical Need Restriction on a driver's license. This restriction allows individuals with urgent and essential transportation needs to continue driving despite certain medical conditions or disabilities that may otherwise disqualify them from holding a regular driver's license.

The form typically consists of sections where the applicant provides personal information, including their name, address, date of birth, and driver's license number. It also includes a medical history section where the applicant must disclose their specific medical condition or disability and provide supporting documentation from a healthcare provider.

When completing Form DS 694, it is important for the applicant to accurately describe their medical condition or disability and provide any necessary medical records or documentation. The form may require additional information or evaluation by a qualified medical professional to determine the eligibility for a Critical Need Restriction.

Examples of critical needs that may warrant this restriction include medical treatment appointments, dialysis, or other life-sustaining procedures that require regular transportation.
