Criminal Record Plays Critical Role in Michigan Driver's License Restoration Outcomes
Michimich.com/10321717

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - Michimich -- For thousands of Michigan residents, losing a driver's license after a criminal conviction creates lasting challenges that affect employment, family responsibilities, and daily life. Understanding how a criminal record impacts driver's license restoration in Michigan is essential for those seeking to legally return to the road.

Michigan separates criminal court proceedings from the administrative process handled by the Secretary of State. While a court may impose penalties for a conviction, the Secretary of State independently determines whether a driver's license is suspended, revoked, or denied — and what is required to restore driving privileges.

DUI and OWI convictions remain the leading cause of license revocation in the state. Multiple offenses often require drivers to wait through mandatory revocation periods and then prove sobriety, rehabilitation, and low risk of reoffending at a formal license restoration hearing. Non-DUI criminal convictions, including driving-related felonies and negligent homicide, may also result in long-term revocation or denial.

Although Michigan's Road to Restoration clinics and Clean Slate initiatives provide helpful resources, they don't  guarantee reinstatement or replace the need for a properly prepared case. Drivers must still meet strict evidentiary standards, clear outstanding obligations, and comply with ignition interlock or monitoring requirements where applicable.
