How long before I am eligible for a Georgia drivers license reinstatement if I have a suspended license? Georgia

New Driver Checklist

According to Georgia law, a license suspension means your driving privileges are temporarily withdrawn for a specified time period. When the suspension period is up, you are allowed to reapply for a Georgia drivers license.

The length of time your license is suspended varies upon the seriousness of the offense. If you refuse to take a chemical test when requested by a law enforcement officer, your license will be suspended for 12 months. A first offense DUI will get you a 120 day suspension, while a second offense DUI will have you losing driving privileges for 18 months.

Different offenses also have different requirements for license reinstatement. For example, drivers convicted of two or more DUI offenses within 10 years must undergo clinical evaluation and treatment before they will be allowed to reapply for a license.
