A filled-in Form MV-44CR example: a first restricted use license

Form MV-44CR example filled out, example: a first restricted use license
Sam Sample fills out MV-44CR to apply for a restricted use license. His name and addresses are unchanged and his home address is the same as his mailing address, so Address where you live is left blank. He chooses Skip This Question for the Donate Life Registry and NO for the voter registration question. The picture shows page 1; its names and figures are sample values. Sam has no military service to report, so Veteran status stays empty. Page 2 is not in the picture, so nothing goes in Treatment or medication, hearing aid and lost use because it sits on page 2. Nothing goes in Certification and signature because it also sits on page 2.
