English term or phrase: APS (Admin Per Se or Administrative Per Se)
I'm translating a temporary license document issued by the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) in California, United States.

In the box that says "Reason for issuance," the answer is "aps" (no other explanation; also written as is, in lowercase letters).

I googled it and came upon this website that says the following:

“Under California’s mandatory Administrative Per Se laws, any driver who is thought to have been driving a motor vehicle with a Blood/Alcohol Concentration of .08% or greater is “presumed” to be under the influence and the immediate suspension of that person’s driver license is mandated”

A DMV Admin Per Se (APS) hearing is a lesser known aspect of the DUI process. The DMV can assume any driver arrested for DUI (with a blood alcohol content of 0.08% of higher) is guilty. This presumption of guilt allows the DMV to take punitive actions on the driver after they receive a DUI. A good DUI attorney can help minimize these punitive consequences.

A DMV Admin Per Se is an administrative hearing heard and decided by a DMV hearing officer. The DMV automatically suspends your driver’s license after getting a DUI. Rather than allowing the automatic suspension, you can request a hearing. This hearing allows you, or your attorney, to review discovery, question witnesses under penalty of perjury, and fight the suspension of your driver’s license."

Now, I know the person to whom this temporary license was issued has a substance abuse problem because my client—who is this person's estranged spouse—told me so. Thus, it's not too farfetched to think that in this case, that "aps" written in the answer box for the "reason for issuance" is referring to an Admin Per Se instance.

What I need is the translation into Spanish of "Admin Per Se (APS)," as I haven't been able to find it.

Many thanks in advance.

Suspensión o revocación inmediata de la licencia de manejar
El programa de suspensión de licencias (Admin Per Se, APS) se implementó en 1990 para disuadir a los
conductores de manejar ebrios. La siguiente información es una guía general para los conductores de 21 años
y mayores que reciben una suspensión o revocación APS. Todos los casos APS son especiales. Si necesita más
información, visite dmv.ca.gov.
¿Qué pasará con mi licencia de manejar?
El oficial le dará una orden de suspensión/revocación. Si tiene licencia de manejar válida de California, el oficial se
la quitará y la enviará al DMV para que la destruyan. ** La orden de suspensión/revocación incluye una licencia de
manejar temporal *** válida por 30 días a partir de la fecha de emisión (generalmente la fecha del arresto). Al terminar
los 30 días, la acción entra en vigor. Si el oficial no le entrega una orden de suspensión/revocación, el DMV se la
enviará por correo.
