Illinois Form DAH H 82 Guide | Verification of Hearing Docs

What Is Illinois Secretary of State Form DAH H 82?

Form DAH H 82, titled “Verification of Hearing Documents,” is an official document issued by the Illinois Secretary of State Department of Administrative Hearings. It serves two primary functions:

• To verify that certain alcohol/drug evaluation, risk education, or treatment documents are true and correct identical copies of the originals.
• To explain why original documents are no longer available, with verification from a licensed DUI service provider.

The form includes a petitioner verification section under penalty of perjury (pursuant to 735 ILCS 5/1-109) and a corresponding section completed and signed by a DUI service provider who holds proper accreditation or licensure.

When Is Form DAH H 82 Required?

Form DAH H 82 is commonly used in alcohol- and drug-related administrative hearings when a petitioner seeks a Restricted Driving Permit (RDP) or full reinstatement of driving privileges. Hearing officers often require original documents or properly verified copies of the following:

• Alcohol/Drug Evaluation Uniform Report
• Addendum to Uniform Report
• DUI Risk Education Certificate of Completion
• Discharge/Transfer Authorization and Treatment Summary (including Individualized Treatment Plan)
• Secretary of State Treatment Verification Form
• Secretary of State Alcohol/Drug Evaluation Uniform Report Update(s)
• Other related documents (as specified)

If originals cannot be produced, the service provider must complete the appropriate section of DAH H 82 explaining the reason (for example, the document was destroyed, the client lost the original, or the original agency is no longer operating).

How to Complete Form DAH H 82?

The form contains two main verification sections:

Section 1 – True and Correct Copies
The petitioner checks the applicable document types and lists the date of each document. The DUI service provider then verifies that the attached copies are identical reproductions of the originals.

Section 2 – Original Documents No Longer Available
If originals cannot be provided, the petitioner and service provider check the relevant documents and state the reason for unavailability. Common reasons listed on the form include destruction of the document, loss by the client, or closure of the original provider without record transfer.

Both the petitioner and the service provider must sign and date the form under penalty of perjury. The service provider must also print their name, title, and Accreditation/License Number.

• Download the fillable PDF and open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader for best results.
• Ensure all information matches the documents being verified.
• Attach the verified documents securely to the completed form.
• Bring the original completed Form DAH H 82 (with attachments) to the hearing; do not rely solely on electronic copies unless specifically authorized.

Related Hearing Requirements and Supporting Documents

Successful completion of an administrative hearing depends on more than Form DAH H 82 alone. Petitioners must generally submit:

• A current Alcohol/Drug Evaluation Uniform Report (and Update if the original is more than six months old at the time of the hearing).
• Proof of DUI Risk Education course completion.
• Treatment documentation appropriate to the risk classification (including Treatment Verification Form DAH H 68 when required).
• Original character/abstinence letters dated within 45 days of the hearing (minimum of three letters for most high-risk cases).

Detailed requirements by risk level are outlined in the official Hearing Requirements publication (DAH IH 22): Download Hearing Requirements (DAH IH 22).

Where to Submit or Present Form DAH H 82?

Form DAH H 82 is typically presented at the time of the formal or informal hearing rather than mailed in advance. Hearing locations include Springfield, Chicago, Joliet, and Mount Vernon. Always confirm current protocols and locations on the official site.
