Drivers License Restoration
How To Restore Your Driver’s License in Michigan
Drivers License Restoration
Losing your driver’s license due to drinking and driving convictions can significantly impact your personal and professional life. In Michigan, individuals whose licenses are revoked due to multiple OUI/OWI convictions must navigate a complex drivers license restoration process to regain their driving privileges. This process is overseen by the Michigan Secretary of State’s Office of Hearings and Administrative Oversight (OHAO).
Key Steps in the Restoration Process:
- EEligibility Review
To apply for restoration, you must first determine your eligibility based on the revocation period. For second or subsequent OUI/OWI offenses, a one-year or five-year revocation may apply, depending on the case.

Applicants must provide clear evidence of sobriety, including letters of support from family, friends, or employers, detailing their commitment to abstaining from alcohol or substance use.
