Getting your driver's license revoked can be a major inconvenience and a source of stress. Have you been feeling overwhelmed
by the process of getting your license back?

Are you unsure about the specific steps you need to take to restore your driving privileges?

Are you worried about how a revoked license is affecting your ability to get to work, school, or take care of your family?

Steps to Take to Get Your License Back After it was Revoked

  1. Address the Underlying Issue: If your license was revoked due to a DUI, you'll need to complete an alcohol or drug treatment program and obtain a restricted license. For other offenses, you may need to pay fines, complete community service, or attend a driving safety course.
  2. Wait Out the Suspension Period: In some cases, you'll simply need to wait out the suspension period. 
  3. Request a Hearing: If you believe your license was revoked unfairly, you can request a hearing with the Secretary of State's Office. This is a formal process where you can present evidence and argue your case.
  4. Complete Required Forms and Pay Fees: Once you've addressed the underlying issue and any additional requirements, you'll need to complete the necessary forms and pay any applicable fees.   
  5. Obtain a New License: After completing all the steps, you can obtain a new driver's license from your local Secretary of State office.

How Does the Point System Work?

driver's license reinstatement Michigan

When you commit a traffic violation, points are added to your driving record. The number of points assigned depends on the severity of the offense. For instance, a speeding ticket might result in 2 points, while a more serious offense like driving under the influence could lead to 6 or more points.

Point Accumulation and License Suspension

If you accumulate a certain number of points within a specified period, your license may be suspended. The exact number of points required for suspension varies depending on your driving history and the specific violations committed.

Here's a general breakdown of point accumulation and license suspension:

  • 6 points: If you accumulate 6 points within a two-year period, you may be eligible for a driver improvement clinic to reduce the points on your record.
  • 10 points: If you accumulate 10 points within a two-year period, your license may be suspended for a specific period.
  • 12 or more points: If you accumulate 12 or more points within a two-year period, your license will likely be suspended.

Regaining your driver's license after a revocation in Michigan requires preparation and a clear understanding of the potential

challenges. Building on our previous discussion, let's explore strategies for overcoming common obstacles:

  • Probation and Self-Directed Sobriety: Demonstrate a commitment to sobriety beyond court requirements. Highlight positive milestones, support systems, and steps taken to address the underlying causes of your license loss.

The Hidden Hurdles to Restoring Your Driver's License in Michigan

license reinstatement Michigan
Getting your driver's license back in Michigan after a revocation can feel like an uphill battle. While there are minimum
requirements and paperwork to handle, there are often unexpected roadblocks that can derail your appeal. Dan Geherin and his team see these frustrations every day from applicants who:

  • Are Still on Probation: The Secretary of State (SOS) wants to see self-directed sobriety, not court-ordered. Even perfect probationers with long-term abstinence may face skepticism from hearing judges.
  • Have Open Criminal or Traffic Cases: These cases often raise concerns about substance abuse or a willingness to drive despite suspension. They can also delay your application.
  • Use Medical Marijuana or Prescriptions: Some hearing judges view any substance use, even for medical reasons, as a risk for relapse. The legal marijuana landscape in Michigan adds another layer of complexity.

These obstacles aren't insurmountable, but they require a savvy legal team. Don't trust inexperienced attorneys with your driving privileges. MiLicenseAttorney.com has a proven track record of winning tough license restoration cases in Michigan.
