Which forms are typically used as referral documents for court-referred cases?

• A. DC-265 and DC-266 Forms (If Applicable)
• B. Virginia Uniform Traffic or Criminal Summons Copy
• C. Written Verification of Referral to ASAP from the Clerk of Court or Court Database
• D. For DMV Administrative Cases, the Compliance Summary (Dated Within 30 Days)

Answer: (A)

Understanding which documents courts use to refer offenders to the VASAP program is key. The official referral documents are the DC-265 and DC-266 forms (when applicable). These forms are designed specifically to accompany court orders and initiate VASAP participation, providing the program with the necessary information in a consistent format—defendant details, case number, charges, court information, referral date, and contact points—so intake and tracking can proceed smoothly.

Other items aren’t the standard referral documents used to start VASAP in court-referred cases. A summons copy is issued for court appearance but isn’t the program referral form. A written verification of referral from the Clerk of Court or court database helps confirm that a referral exists, but it isn’t the primary intake document used to initiate the program. The DMV-compliance summary is tied to DMV administrative cases and not the court-referred VASAP process. Thus, the DC-265 and DC-266 forms are the typical referral documents.
