Steps to Obtaining a Restricted Driver’s License During Your Suspension:

  • Serve mandatory suspension time (required period before interlock may be installed).
  • Provide proof of enrollment in or completion of an approved alcohol treatment program and after-care, if ordered.
  • Provide letter from probation compliance.
  • Document legitimate hardship such, as a letter from employer on letterhead.
  • Make an appointment to have your ignition interlock installed by calling toll-free 800-499-0994.
  • Guardian will verify your eligibility for an interlock with the DMV. Once your interlock installed, Guardian will give you a certificate confirming the installation.
  • Fill out hardship application form and pay all fines and fees.

Steps to Reinstate Your Driver’s License After Suspension:

  • Complete your minimum suspension period.
  • Pay all fines, including any additional court costs.
  • Serve jail time or completing your probation, if applicable.
  • Complete an alcohol education program.
  • Pay your license reinstatement fee, which can range from $50 to $1,200.
  • You might need to re-apply for your license, which includes taking all the required tests.
  • With an OUI-related suspension or revocation you must see a Hearings Officer to have your license reinstated. Check the Suspension Hearing Sites and Schedules for a location nearest you.
