One of the reasons that a person has his or her
driver license suspended is because he or she was arrested for a DUI or a
speeding issue. The person must pay a reissue fee and sometimes meet other
requirements. Typically, the notice of suspension mailed out by the department
of licensing will contain instructions on what to do for the driver license
reinstatement following the suspension. It is important to follow such
instructions so a person doesn’t end up with another charge when driving on a
suspended license.
FAQ’s when Reinstating Driver’s License
Are there proceeding hearings?
There are two types of hearings, informal and
formal. If you have only had one DUI arrest, you may have an informal or a
formal hearing. If you have had two or more DUI arrests, you are usually
required to have a formal hearing for a driver license reinstatement.
Where can I go for help?
Application assistance services can simplify the
process for many DMV related services for a fee, including: renewing your
license, applying for a license, registering a vehicle, driver license
reinstatement, changing your address and more. In addition to assistance in
preparing official forms, the value added services and products you will
receive include a comprehensive guide containing information relevant to your
service needs, 30 days of both emergency Roadside Assistance and the Repair
Assist consultation, a state-specific help desk prepared to answer any
driver-related questions or concerns you may have on driver license
reinstatement and renewals.
How long does it take?
It varies. First, the client needs to find out if
he or she is eligible for driver license reinstatement. If she is, the next
question would be: is he or she eligible for full reinstatement immediately or
do they have to go through and obtain a restricted driving permit through the
Secretary of the State? The next process is up to the client. Some
clients are ready to go to a hearing within six weeks. Other clients take
six months or more. This all depends on how fast and how thorough the
client understands and is prepared for the hearing.
Again, it is all up to the client. If the
client takes the time to understand the facts of their fault, the treatment
that they performed through their evaluator and can factually relate that to
the Secretary of State, they will have a very good chance in driver license
reinstatement.
