ATLANTA DUI ATTORNEY

Temporary/Limited Driving Permit

If you plea guilty to DUI, and it is your first conviction in Atlanta within five years, you are immediately eligible for a temporary driving permit. The temporary driving permit will be valid for 120 days from the date of the conviction. In order to get a temporary driving permit, the court should complete the official DS1126 form (First DUI Conviction Court Affidavit).

You should take the temporary driving permit the court issues you to the nearest DDS Customer Service Center for issuance of a permit. Locations of Customer Service Centers can be found at http://www.dds.ga.gov/locations/index.aspx. Driver's License Offices Are Open Tuesday through Saturday. Tuesday is typically a very busy day, so please plan ahead. A $25.00 fee will need to be paid to the examiner at the DDS Customer Service Center.

Reinstatement

120 days after the date you surrendered your most recently issued driver’s license to the court, to DDS, or the date which DDS processed the conviction, you may apply for reinstatement of your driver’s license, provided they:

1. Submit an original certificate of completion of an approved DUI Alcohol/Drug Use Risk Reduction Program;
2. Remit a $210.00 restoration fee (or $200.00 if restoration is processed by mail).

If by mail, the following address should be used:
Department of Driver Services
PO Box 105182
Atlanta, GA 30348-5182

This suspension will not age off, but will remain active until the defendant has completed the requirements listed above.

If you need assistance with a temporary license or reinstatement, contact an Atlanta DUI attorney. Altanta DUI attorney Scott Smith can answer your questions about getting your license back. Contact Scott Smith at his Atlanta DUI practice at 404-581-0999.
