There are two parts to the process when applying to reinstate your Michigan Driving Privleges. The first process is the paperwork followed by a hearing that will either take place at a branch office in front of an attorney for the state or by video conference at the branch office with a state attorney.
Either way the entire process takes a minimum of 3 months or longer. Once the paperwork is completed and sent to the state in Lansing it takes minimum 8 weeks before your hearing date is scheduled.
STANDARDS for Issuance of a License
The Secretary of state has issued a detailed set of standards that must be met for a repeat Drunk Driver to receive a restricted license. Rule 13(1)a-(b) states the following:
(a) The hearing officer shall not order that a license be issued unless you prove by clear and convincing evidence all of the following:
(1) That your alcohol or substance abuse problems, if any, are under control and likely to remain under control.
(2) That your risk of repeating past abusive behavior is a low or minimal risk.
(3) That the risk of you repeating the act of operating a motor vehicle while impaired by, or under the influence of alcohol or controlled substances or a combination of alcohol or controlled substance is a low or minimal risk.
(4) That you have the ability and motivation to drive safely and within the law.
(5) And other relevant issues contained in the rule and statue.
