State Laws
DUI convictions & business permits
     
Business permits - If your license has been taken as a result of a DUI conviction or as a result of having refused to take a breath or blood test, or having failed such a test, you may wish to inquire about your eligibility for a business or hardship license. These restricted licenses are provided by the Drivers License Bureau for instances such as a DUIconviction.

If you have already been convicted of DUI by a judge and your license has been suspended or revoked, you should ask the judge to provide you with what is commonly called a "green order" (based on the color of the paper). This authorizes the Drivers License Bureau to provide you with a hardship license if you qualify.

If the Drivers License Bureau does not believe you qualify for a hardship or business permit they may deny you one even if the judge provides you with a green order. If you have not been served with a DUI conviction but your license has been taken from you because you refused to take the blood or breath test or failed the test, you are still eligible for a business purposes-only license.

There are several requirements to be eligible for a business or hardship permit and it will be helpful to discuss with the Drivers License Bureau what documents you will need to provide before applying. It may also be helpful to discuss the matter with an attorney experienced in the area of DUI.

For more information, contact your Drivers License Bureau or a qualified DUI attorney.
