Work-Restricted California Driver's License:

As of January 1, 1995, if you are a first offender over the age of 21 charged with driving with an alcohol level of .08 or greater, you may be eligible to apply for a work-restricted driver’s license.

Before a restricted driver’s license will be issued, you must enroll in an approved Alcohol Treatment Program and show proof by receipt to the DMV, submit proof of insurance (SR-22), and pay a $125 re-issue fee to the DMV.

You may enroll in an alcohol program while your criminal case is still pending. Our office has a list of the DMV’s First Offender Programs, and we will advise you on how to obtain a work-restricted driver’s license should you hire our firm to handle your DUI case.

The restricted driver’s license will only allow you to drive to and from the alcohol program, to and from your job and within the scope of your job. The restriction is required to remain in effect for six months from the effective date of your suspension (30-day suspension followed by a five month restriction). Should your suspension be set-aside, the restriction may be lifted.

I offer a free no obligation consultation and look forward to helping you with your legal matter.
