When to use this worksheet

Use the actual motor-vehicle agency notice to track an administrative hearing or review deadline; do not calculate the date from a national chart.

Agency name and notice title

Questions to take to counsel

Is this deadline separate from criminal court?
What counts as a timely request under the agency instructions?
What proof should be kept after filing?
What happens to driving status while review is pending?

Keep the source document

Write down the source of each date or fact and keep the original notice, report, receipt, or agency confirmation. A worksheet is an organizer, not a substitute for a filing, court appearance, or legal advice.
