Restricted License


You always want to have a DMV hearing. You or your attorney MUST contact DMV within 10 days of your arrest to schedule a hearing. There are issues that your attorney may be able to win on. If you win, you will not have a suspended license.

If you lose your DMV hearing you will have a one month suspension and then you can apply for a restricted license provided that you do the following:

1. Show DMV proof of enrollment in the court ordered First Conviction Program.

2. Pay DMV a $100 license re-issue fee.

3. Provide DMV an SR22- proof of insurance form that you must get from your insurance person.

This is not the document we carry in our wallet. It may take a few weeks to get the form, so plan ahead...

Part of your court punishment will be a 90 day license restriction that usually follows your DMV suspension/restriction.

WARNING
This does not apply to refusals.
Refusals and Multiple convictions need to check with DMV and their attorney for specific suspension and restriction information.
