DRIVER MONITORING PROGRAM
FILE PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS
Purpose:
Use these instructions when creating a Driver Monitoring electronic file for submission to DMV for the Driver
Monitoring Program.
Instructions:
The Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) processes Driver Monitoring electronic files with a system that requires
very specific file formatting to work correctly. Files must be in text format (also referred to as ascii) containing FIXED
WIDTH fields which create 80 character records. A detailed record layout is defined in Figure A below. If you are
comfortable with creating fixed width files proceed to Section A - Technical File Layout Information. It contains the
information you will need to make your file work correctly with DMV's system. If you require assistance creating fixed
width files, go to Section B - Assistance Creating Your Driver Monitoring File. Mail all electronic files,
correspondence and inquires to the System Support Group at the address above. Include your Use Agreement
Number with all correspondence.
A - TECHNICAL FILE LAYOUT INFORMATION
1. The electronic file you submit should only contain information for drivers to be ADDED to or DELETED from your
current driver monitoring list. If this is your first file submission, all records should be formatted as ADDS.
2. All submitted files MUST be fixed width text files containing fields formatted as described below in Figure A. Go to
Section B - Additional Assistance To Create Your Driver Monitoring File if you are unfamiliar with creating fixed width
files.
3. Copy the file onto a CD, thumb (flash) drive or 3.5" diskette and send to the System Support Group at the address shown
above.

B-1 Using DMV's Microsoft Excel file to create your Driver Monitoring File
This section contains directions on how to use the DMV developed DMS 002 Excel spreadsheet which creates a fixed width
text file for you. If you do not have Microsoft Excel on your computer, you cannot use DMS 002. Go to section B-2 for
instruction on setting up a Driver Monitoring file without the use of Microsoft Excel.
1. To download the Microsoft Excel file to your computer, enter the following web address in your web browser http://www.
2. When prompted to "OPEN" or "SAVE" the file, select "SAVE".
3. Select your desired "Save in" location by clicking the down arrow and navigating to a folder on your computer.
3a. Change the filename to something unique to your business and click the "Save" button.
NOTE: The text file generated by the DMS 002 spreadsheet will have the file name you entered.
4. Open the Excel file you saved on your computer.
5. Enter your data:
5a. Enter the driver's Customer Number or Driver License Number in the first available row of Column A. This field
should contain no more than 12 characters. Do not enter dashes (-) or special characters (&,%,@, etc.).
5b. Enter the driver's name, date of birth and any other identifying information pertinent to your company. This
information is OPTIONAL and will not be used by DMV. You can enter a maximum of 67 characters in this field.
Information entered will display on the Driver Monitor Report DMV sends to you.
5c. Enter "D" if you would like to delete the entry from your existing driver monitoring list. Leave this column blank if
you are adding this entry to your driver monitoring list.

Notepad. Unlike the Microsoft Excel alternative, there are no edits or checks imposed on your data entry. This could result
in additional errors or mistakes in the data.

information is OPTIONAL and will not be used by DMV. You can enter a maximum of 67 characters in this field.
Information entered will display on the Driver Monitor Report DMV sends to you. Press the "tab" key after
entering this information.
2c. Enter "D" if you would like to delete the entry from your existing driver monitoring list. If you are adding this entry
to your driver monitoring list there is no need to enter anything. Press the "Enter" key to start input for the next
customer number/license number.
3d. Repeat 2a, 2b and 2c until all data has been entered.
