Michigan DUI Reinstatement

How to Get Your License Back After a DUI in Michigan (2026)

This is the administrative path to reinstatement once your DUI case is resolved: sentence done, program enrolled or finished. It walks the steps Michigan actually requires to clear the administrative suspension and put your license back in your hand.

For the case itself, a contested suspension, or a hearing. That's legal advice. Talk to a licensed attorney in Michigan. The intake will route those matters to an attorney rather than prepare them.

The steps the MI Dept of State expects

Below is what Michigan publishes for the administrative DUI reinstatement path. Where Michigan hasn't published a value, we leave it out rather than guess.

Step 1

Serve the suspension period

The administrative suspension runs for the period Michigan sets. It's separate from any criminal court sentence. The free roadmap below confirms the served period that applies to your case based on the intake answers you give.

Step 5

Pay reinstatement fees

Michigan reinstatement fees published at primary source:

  • $125

Sourced from Michigan: 1st OWI = 6-mo susp (30-day no-drive + 5-mo restricted); serve; pay $125 + fines → automatic restore

From $99

Or have us prepare the packet

We line up each administrative hold, including DUI plus anything else like a lapsed insurance issue, unpaid ticket, or points. We include supported official forms when they apply, check completeness against Michigan's published requirements, and give you the filing steps. Our fee is private document preparation, not a state charge.

What this page does and doesn't cover

Covered: the administrative road back to your Michigan license once your DUI case is resolved. What Michigan requires, the order, the fees, the forms.

Not covered: the criminal case itself, plea options, contested suspensions, hearings, or hardship-license strategy. Those are legal advice. We're not a law firm. The intake routes any hearing or contested matter to an attorney rather than preparing it.

Common questions

Before you start

Is this legal help for my Michigan DUI case?

No. This page covers the administrative license-reinstatement path after the case itself is resolved. Pleas, hearings, contested suspensions, and hardship strategy are legal matters for a licensed attorney.

What does the Michigan DUI roadmap check?

The roadmap checks the administrative items Michigan publishes for DUI reinstatement, such as required program proof, interlock if applicable, financial-responsibility filing, state fees, forms, and the order to handle them.

Can I include other holds besides the DUI suspension?

Yes. Many people also have insurance, court, ticket, or points holds. The free roadmap asks for every reason you know about so the steps can be sequenced together.

Have other holds too?

Most DUI reinstaters also have at least one other hold (a lapsed insurance issue, an unpaid ticket, accumulated points). The free roadmap finds every hold on your case at once.
