What is DL 952?
Internet Security Agreement Certification, DADP Provider Administrator (DL 952) is the California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) form on which a DADP Administrator agrees to the security rules for the Driving Under the Influence Internet Program Forms System and certifies them under penalty of perjury.
The DMV collects information from Driving Under the Influence program providers and processes it to take the appropriate driver license eligibility action. The information comes from three forms that providers submit: the Proof of Enrollment Certificate (DL 107), the Notice of Completion Certificate (DL 101) and the Notice of Non-Compliance (DL 101A). DL 952 sets out how the people who use the online system must protect that information.
The form has two sections. Section I records the Administrator's and the Director's or designee's contact details and the DADP location. Section II lists the user responsibilities (access only when necessary, training before use, password standards, keeping the user name and password confidential) and 17 responsibilities specific to the DADP Administrator role, such as creating user names, issuing initial passwords, resetting or disabling Representative accounts and monitoring suspicious activity.
DL 952 is for the Administrator role. The form refers to a separate document, the DADP Representative Internet Security Agreement Certification (DL 951), which the Administrator gives to each Representative to review and sign.
Who needs to file DL 952?
The main signer is the DADP Administrator of a Driving Under the Influence program provider: the person who holds the Administrator role in the DMV's Driving Under the Influence Internet Program Forms System. The form states that signing means you have read, understood and agree to its contents and realize the penalties for non-compliance.
The Director or designee of the program also signs. Section I asks for that person's name, telephone number and e-mail address, and the form carries a separate signature line for the Director or designee. The form's mailing instruction is addressed to the Program Director.
DL 952 does not cover Representatives. Each Representative reviews and signs the DADP Representative Internet Security Agreement Certification (DL 951), which the Administrator provides. The Administrator keeps a copy of the signed document and makes it available on request to the DMV Audit Staff.
When to file DL 952
The form prints no due date, renewal cycle or validity period. It records the Administrator's agreement to the terms for using the Driving Under the Influence Internet Program Forms System, and one of those terms is completing the system's online instruction or classroom training before using it. For any timing question beyond what is printed, contact the DMV through the channels on its website.

How to submit DL 952
The form names one channel: mail. Under "Instructions to Program Director," it says to mail the DMV original form to:
- Mail: DMV DL Automation/Dev Section, MS J151, P. O. Box 932345, Sacramento, CA 94232-3450.
Mail the original, signed by both the DADP Administrator and the Director or designee. The form prints no portal, e-mail address or in-person option.

FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the channel above.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Mailing a copy instead of the DMV original form; the instructions on the form say to mail the original.
- Leaving the Director or designee signature and date blank; the form has a separate signature line for that person.
- Skipping the EXECUTED AT line (city, county, state) next to the signatures.
- Using DL 952 for a Representative; Representatives sign the DADP Representative Internet Security Agreement Certification (DL 951).
- Mailing the form to a street address instead of P. O. Box 932345, Sacramento, CA 94232-3450, MS J151.
- Leaving out the e-mail address or telephone number of the Administrator or the Director or designee in Section I.
- Signing without reading the user responsibilities; the signature certifies that you understand them and the penalties for non-compliance.
