When will my driver license be revoked if I get a DWI DUI?
If you are charged with a DWI in Minnesota because your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) was .08 or more, your license will be revoked or cancelled 7 days after you are given notice of the revocation or cancellation. Generally speaking, this is 7 days after you are arrested for the DWI/DUI. If you had a blood draw and the results come in later, it will be 7 days from when they notify you that your license is being revoked.
In certain situations, you can be charged with a DWI/DUI if your BAC is below .08. In these situations, the only way that your license can be revoked is if you are convicted of the DWI/DUI. If this is the case and you are convicted, that conviction will be sent to the department of public safety. Once they receive the conviction, they will send you a letter telling you when your license will be revoked.
