With the help of an expert in Virginia DUI law, you will have a much better chance of driving again after a conviction.
How to Reinstate Your Virginia Driver's License
After being convicted of a Virginia DUI, you will have to fulfill certain requirements in order to reinstate your Virginia driver's license. These requirements, which will be handed down by a court, may include:
- Paying court costs and fines;
- Attending a driver improvement clinic; and/or
- Successfully completing a Virginia Alcohol Safety Action program.
Once these steps are completed, you may be eligible to reinstate your Virginia driver's license. But to do so, you will also have to:
- Pay the applicable reinstatement fees;
- Provide the DMV with a medical and/or vision report from a licensed physician; and
- Receive a court order permitting restricted driving privileges.
You will also need to provide the DMV with a completed SR-22 form. The SR-22 is proof from your insurance provider that you have obtained high-risk auto insurance (or liability insurance).
Once you have paid all of your fines, completed the necessary courses, and submitted an SR-22 form from your insurance coverage provider, you may be able to reinstate your Virginia driver's license.
