Get Your License Back
When a Michigan driver accumulates multiple DUI convictions, the state may revoke their driver’s license entirely. This is very different from a suspension. Once revoked, driving privileges do not automatically return—you must go through the process of driver’s license restoration in Michigan to legally drive again.
License revocations commonly occur when a driver receives:
- Two DUI convictions within seven years, or
- Three DUI convictions within ten years
Drivers in this situation must petition the Michigan Secretary of State’s Administrative Hearings Section (AHS) to restore their license. The process is detailed and requires substantial documentation proving that the applicant has addressed any alcohol-related issues.
Applicants must demonstrate that:
- Their substance abuse problem is under control
- It is likely to remain under control
- They are committed to long-term sobriety
The process typically includes submitting a Substance Use Evaluation, gathering letters of support, and attending a license restoration hearing. Even after approval, many drivers initially receive a restricted license with an ignition interlock device before eventually regaining full driving privileges.
Because the burden of proof is high, preparation is critical. Attorney Dan Geherin works with clients throughout the driver’s license restoration process in Michigan, helping them assemble documentation and present a strong case.
