According to the New York Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), drivers who receive convictions from the Traffic Violations Bureau (TVB) can file an appeal online or by mail. Once submitted, appeals of this type are reviewed by the DVM Appeals Board to determine whether to approve or deny them.
Like most paperwork done at the DMV, appeals also require a non-refundable fee. This fee must be paid each time the request is made.
