MV-522.1 Form – If you own or operate a DMV-approved driving school in New York and want to schedule, reschedule, confirm, or cancel road tests for your students quickly and efficiently, the MV-522.1 form is the official application you need.
This free PDF gives your school a special account in the New York State DMV’s Internet Road Test Scheduling System (also called the Road Test System or RTS). Individual drivers cannot use this form — it is exclusively for licensed driving schools.
In this guide, you’ll learn exactly what the MV-522.1 form is, who needs it, how to complete and submit it, and where to download the latest version (revised December 2024). All information comes directly from the official New York DMV website as of March 2026.
What Is the MV-522.1 Form?
The full title of the form is “Application for Access to DMV Internet Road Test System” (MV-522.1).
It allows DMV-approved driving schools to:
- Access the internal Road Test System (RTS)
- Search for test sites and directions
- Schedule, reschedule, confirm, or cancel road tests on behalf of customers
- Manage appointments without using the public scheduling website or phone line
Important: Driving school owners are solely responsible for all activity on the account. Access is a privilege and can be suspended or revoked for misuse or violations of DMV regulations.
Who Needs to File Form MV-522.1?
Only DMV-licensed driving schools and their authorized employees.
Individual learners, parents, or non-school instructors use the public scheduling system at nyrtsscheduler.com or by calling 518-402-2100. Driving schools must use the internal system and cannot book through the public site or phone line on behalf of students.

Benefits of the Driving School Road Test Scheduling Account
Once approved, your school gains:
- Direct access to the internal RTS (faster than the public system)
