Can I get my driver's license reinstated after a DUI conviction?

Yes, it is possible to get your driver’s license reinstated after a DUI conviction in Pennsylvania. The process to getting your license reinstated after a DUI conviction in Pennsylvania can be lengthy and complicated depending on the severity of the DUI offense. You may be required to complete certain steps to have your license reinstated. These steps may include; attending driver safety classes, paying fines and court costs, completing a period of license suspension, enrolling in and completing an alcohol treatment program, obtaining an Ignition Interlock Device (IID), and obtaining an SR-22, a financial responsibility filing. Another factor to consider is that if your license was suspended due to DUI, you will need to report the conviction to the Department of Motor Vehicles.
