Blue Envelope.jpg

ASRC sometimes gets questions about the "Blue Envelope" program in the state of Connecticut. This is a statewide program that local police departments should be aware of, but in some cases may not be.

Please note the location of the information on the State of Connecticut DMV website (link is found below). ASRC is happy to answer questions of local PD's should they arise. Blue envelopes are available from the State DMV offices. If you have difficulty please contact the ASRC office today.
