We understand the significant impact a revoked license has on your life and livelihood. Where other firms may be content with partial restorations or slow processes, we pursue full restoration in the shortest time possible.
Understanding License Revocation in Michigan
Michigan revokes driver’s licenses for individuals identified as habitual drunk drivers – those with:
- Two DUI convictions within seven years (one-year minimum revocation)
- Three DUI convictions within ten years (five-year minimum revocation)
Unlike a suspended license, which automatically returns after the suspension period, a revoked license requires you to formally request reinstatement after the minimum revocation period.
