incorrect. Check the “New address?” checkbox if their current address is different from the license.
Enter the street address with the apartment number if any, or the rural route number, and the city,
state, and zip code. Record addresses of unlicensed persons or pedestrians as completely as
possible.

passengers.
Valid Age codes are:

SAFETY EQUIPMENT USE This is a mandatory
field for all drivers, passengers, and pedestrians.
Do NOT use ‘Y’ meaning Yes. If the Safety
Equipment is not known, record a ‘U’. All Safety
Equipment codes are shown on the code sheet
(form 855). Note: Booster Seats are normally used
between the ages of 4-8 where the child is
between 40 and 80 lbs.
Airbag Codes: Use the ‘Airbag’ codes that
affect only the seat position (if occupied) that
applies to the airbag’s deployment.

In the example, the only occupants
requiring airbag codes would be the

If a side airbag deployed for another
seat position, code it accordingly.
