Initial IDRC Class Scheduling:

The Intoxicated Driving Program (IDP) in Trenton is directly responsible for initially scheduling every client after sentencing. Clients will receive a scheduling notice from the State of New Jersey IDP in the mail at the address that was provided to the court at the time of sentencing. Please note this process can take 2-4 weeks from your date of sentencing. For questions about initial scheduling, please contact IDP at 609-815-3100.

Please Note:  If you have received a scheduling notice from the State of New Jersey IDP regarding your IDRC class, please note that you will be receiving another Class Notice in the mail directly from the IDRC approximately 1 month prior to your scheduled class date. This second letter will give clear instructions on the steps that must be taken to complete your registration for class, in addition to the due-dates that each step must be completed by.

Failure to contact the IDRC at idrc@co.somerset.nj.us before the date listed on the Class Notice can result in program non-compliance and possible license suspension. 

IDRC classes being held after July 1^st, 2023 will be conducted IN-PERSON. (EXCEPT for Spanish Classes)

An additional class notice will be mailed out to you the month prior to your class date, and all instructions must be followed in order to complete your registration.

Rescheduling of an Initial Class Date:

If you need to reschedule your original class date, you must contact the IDRC by email at idrc@co.somerset.nj.us prior to your originally scheduled class date.

According to NJ State Regulations 10:162-3.3; No client shall be permitted to reschedule an original IDRC class date without the follow documentation being received by the IDRC office within 10 days of the scheduled class date:

1. Health emergency (self or family member) – with physician’s letter signed and dated on provider letterhead
2. Death – provide a copy of the obituary within 10 days
3. Family emergency- illness / documented by medical/ school/ professional
4. Documented work emergency – provide proof of travel plans (i.e., airline reservations/ letter from client’s employer expressing hardship of class attendance)

Based on the above reasons, a client would be permitted one excused reschedule once documentation has been received by the IDRC. The client may not choose their rescheduled class date; they will automatically be placed into the next available class.

If official documentation cannot be provided, the non-compliance process will begin once the client does not show up for the originally scheduled class date. It will then be up to the client to contact the IDRC via email to reschedule to a new class date.
