What type of license suspension is required for a conviction of a DUI?

A DUI conviction in Minnesota can result in a license suspension. The specific type and length of the suspension depend on whether it is a first time offense, the offense involves a minor, or if alcohol- or drug-related license revocation is already in effect. If it is a first-time DUI conviction, the driver can receive a suspension for up to 90 days. The driver may also be required to take a test to evaluate their alcohol or drug history and the court may also order an ignition interlock device. If the offense involved a minor, the driver will receive a mandatory suspension of up to 1 year. This suspension will be in effect until the driver completes the required treatment program. If the driver already has an alcohol- or drug-related license revocation on their record, they can receive an additional suspension of up to one year. The driver must also complete the required treatment program and an ignition interlock device may also be required. No matter the type of DUI suspension imposed, drivers can petition the court to receive a limited license that would allow them to drive to and from work or school during the suspension period. The court can also impose additional consequences, such as fines and jail time.
