Out of State Driver’s License Restoration in Michigan

Are you a non-Michigan resident looking for the best driver’s license restoration attorney in Michigan? If so, you will need to request an Administrative Review of your driver’s license.

If you had your Michigan driver’s license revoked for multiple OWIs and now live out of state, the Michigan Secretary of State (SOS) cannot grant you any kind of Michigan license. However, they can release the “hold” that was created by your revocation, which will allow you to obtain a driver’s license in your current state.

This process is similar to an in-state driver license restoration, in that you must submit a Petitioner’s Evidence Affidavit, Substance Use Evaluation, 12-panel drug test and letters of support. Additionally, you must also submit proof of your current residency.

The out-of-state process differs in that you do not need to appear in Michigan for a hearing. Rather, the SOS will review your documents and either grant or deny your request to clear the Michigan hold on your driver license. If your request is granted, then you are free to pursue a driver license in the state where you currently live. If your request is denied, you are entitled to pursue a Hearing.

You will only have to appear in person (or by Zoom) at your local SoS branch office; the hearing officer will conduct the hearing via video conferencing from his home office in Michigan. Just like a regular in-person hearing, you are entitled to have an attorney at the video hearing. Once the hearing is concluded, a formal written order either granting or denying your request will be mailed to your home address.

Experience and Written Evidence Makes a World of Difference

As always, your written evidence is paramount to your success. It’s crucial to have an experienced attorney help prepare all of your documents and refer you to an experienced counselor to prepare you for your Substance Abuse Evaluation.

The Secretary of State’s requirements are very particular, and all of your documents must comply with their strict standards. People often hire an attorney only after trying the Administrative Review on their own.

Not only does this delay the time to obtain the license restoration and clearance, but it also hinders the likelihood of success since everything submitted is then inserted in a permanent Secretary of State file.
