If, for whatever reason, your drivers license gets suspended, there is a chance you may be able to apply for a restricted license (also known as a hardship license, occupational license, limited license, probationary license, and Cinderella license).
The application process varies by state. In Washington, for example, you must follow an involved process that includes submitting an Occupational/Restricted Driver License Application for each reason behind the license need, along with nonrefundable fees and proof of car insurance while, in Wisconsin, you must first check eligibility via an online form requiring nothing more than your name and date of birth or drivers license number.
If you do receive a restricted license, you may, again depending on state, be held to strict limitations. Some states may limit your movement to specific roads while traveling to and from work, or ban you from stopping at stores or the gym when returning from your designated location, or even limit you to a certain number of hours of driving per day and/or week.
Suspended License Options
There are many variables involved behind obtaining a restricted license, and these include:- State laws. Not every state offers a restricted license option, and those that do may limit driving privileges to one or several of the following reasons: work, school, court-mandated community service, church, medical reasons, rehab and/or counseling, child visitations, grocery shopping, or care for a dependent.
- Most restricted license applications are handled on a case-by-case basis. Many factors are weighed, including the cause of suspension, driving record, habitual offender status (if applicable), your place of residence (you're more likely to receive a restricted license if you live in a rural area rather than say a city with multiple public transportation options), and the need behind a limited license.
