After your DUI arrest in Rio Rancho, New Mexico, the police officer is required by law to immediately forward a copy of the completed notice of suspension or revocation form and any driver license taken into possession, with a sworn report to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). The DMV conducts an administrative review automatically that includes an examination of the police officer’s report, the suspension or revocation order, and any test results. If the revocation or suspension is upheld during the administrative review, you may request a hearing to contest the suspension or revocation.

Within 10 days of receipt of the suspension or revocation order, you have the right to request a hearing from the DMV. The action will be set aside if the review shows there is no basis for the suspension or revocation of your driver’s license. You will be notified by the DMV in writing only if the revocation or suspension is set aside following the administrative review.
