How do I get a work permit if my driver license is revoked for a DWI/DUI?
If your license is revoked for a DWI/DUI, it can be very scary. You don’t know how you can get to work and keep earning a living. The good news is that even when your license is revoked, you do have a way to drive.
In certain circumstances, you are eligible to be on a work permit. Generally, if it is your first DWI/DUI in a 10 year period and your BAC is between .08 and .15, you will be eligible for a work permit. However, depending on your record and how many DWI/DUI’s you have during your lifetime, you may not be eligible even if the current DWI/DUI is your first in a 10 year period.
You will need to pay the $680 reinstatement fee and fill out an application for a new license. Additionally, you will need to pass a written test on chapters 7 & 8 of the Minnesota Driver’s Manual. Finally, you will need to meet with an evaluator. That evaluator will work with you to set up your work permit so you know when and where you are allowed to drive.
Getting your driving privileges back can be a very confusing process. The attorneys at Gerald Miller, P.A. are well versed in DWI/DUI laws and can help you get through that process. If you have lost your license due to a DWI/DUI, call us today to set up your free consultation.
