Handling All Aspects of Driver’s License Restoration

In Michigan, there are many reasons your driver’s license may have been suspended. If you are convicted of a DUI, OWI, or drug-related offense, you will likely need to wait one year before you can attempt to have your driver’s license reinstated. If you refused a chemical test, such as a breathalyzer, you can request a hearing to appeal your automatic driver’s license suspension within 14 days of your arrest.

At Grewal Law PLLC, we can help you navigate all types of driver’s license restoration issues, including but not limited to:

  • Preparing for and attending a driver’s license appeal hearing
  • Defense for driving on a suspended driver’s license
  • Reinstatement of revoked and suspended driver’s licenses
  • Out-of-state driver’s license restoration
  • Obtaining substance abuse evaluations

How to Reinstate Your Driver’s License

The process of reinstating your driver’s license in Michigan will depend on the reason that your license was suspended or revoked. Typically, you must wait a certain period of time to attempt to have your license restored. This waiting period, again, will depend on the reason your license was revoked.

Typically, the process of restoring your driver’s license in Michigan is as follows:

  • Request a DAAD hearing: First, you will need to request an administrative hearing through the Michigan Secretary of State’s Driver Assessment and Appeal Division. This is known as a DAAD hearing (formerly known as a DLAD hearing).
  • Complete a substance abuse evaluation: As part of the application, you will need to include a substance abuse evaluation. This evaluation must be completed by a qualified substance abuse counselor and be no more than three months old.
  • Provide documentation of substance use: You will also need to submit documentation with your application that outlines your past and current substance use, as stated by people who know you personally. This is typically included in the form of a letter along with your substance abuse evaluation.
  • Include a copy of your IID device report. If you have been previously ordered to have an ignition interlock device installed on your vehicle, you will also need to include a copy of the final report from the device with your hearing application.
  • Wait to hear back on your application: After submitting all required documents and paperwork, you will be informed whether or not your request was accepted. If so, you will be notified of a hearing date. You may be required to attend the hearing in person or via video conference.
  • Receive a decision after your hearing: At the conclusion of your hearing, during which our attorneys can represent you and show that you have completed the necessary steps for driver’s license restoration, you may receive a decision right away, or you may need to wait for a decision by mail.

This process can take a considerable amount of time. It is important that you have an experienced attorney on your side who can help you navigate the legal system and ensure that you do not commit any mistakes that may jeopardize your chances of restoring your driving privileges. It is also important to note that there are fees required to reinstate your license. You will be responsible for paying these fees at the required times.
