How to Get a “Hold” Removed From Your Out-of-State License

Residents from other states must apply to have the “hold”/revocation removed, and that application process goes through the Michigan Secretary of State Administrative Hearing Section (AHS), previously known as the Driver’s Assessment and Appeal Division (DAAD).  You can choose to either proceed with an Administrative Hearing (where you won’t be required to come back to Michigan but instead submit paperwork to AHS), or via a Video/Live Hearing conducted in Michigan. Under either option, you’ll want to consult with a Michigan license appeals attorney, not one from your new state.

How Does An Out-Of-State Resident Remove A Michigan Driver’s License "Hold"?

You may decide to leave Michigan, especially if you’ve had your driver’s license revoked due to repeat OWI or other criminal convictions.  The thinking and logic work like this:  I can move away from my troubles, and get a license in another state like California, Ohio, or Colorado.  Unfortunately, that logic and thinking doesn’t always work.  Most often, out-of-state residents can’t get licensed in a new state because of the “hold” placed on them by the Michigan Secretary of State.

Every day, people from all over the country call our firm and ask these questions:

“What do I have to do to remove my Michigan driver’s license hold?”

“Do I have to come back to Michigan to handle this?”

“Do I need an attorney in Michigan for this, or in my new state?”

“Once Michigan removes my hold, will I be able to get a license in my new state?”
