Will I be able to get my license back after a DWI conviction?

Yes, you may be able to get your license back after a DWI conviction in Nebraska. Depending on the severity of your conviction, the court or Nebraska Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) may be able to issue you a restricted license. A restricted license may give you the ability to drive to and from specific places such as work, school, church, and court hearings. It is possible to apply for a restricted license if you meet certain criteria. You must have a valid license, have completed alcohol/substance abuse programs and paid all required fees. Additionally, you must complete an Ignition Interlock Device (IID) program. An IID is installed in the car and requires the driver to blow into the device before the vehicle can be started. This device measures the amount of alcohol in the breath and the vehicle won’t start if the driver fails the test. If you meet all of these requirements, the court may be able to reinstate your license or issue a restricted license. You will have to pay fines and continue to meet the requirements of the IID program. Be sure to check with the DMV or court in Nebraska for more details.
