Road to Restoration
Road to Restoration
What is Road to Restoration?
Road to Restoration is a free clinic to assist Michigan residents in understanding how to get their driving privileges restored. Residents who attend will meet one-on-one with Michigan Department of State staff and talk with volunteer attorneys to determine the steps necessary to reinstate their driver’s license.
More information is on the Frequently Asked Questions page.
If you are seeking information regarding your license restoration and would like to speak with someone from Michigan Department of State, please submit your inquiry.
Road to Restoration is not a DUI/DWI/OWI expungement clinic and license reinstatement is not guaranteed. Reinstatement is assessed on an individual basis in accordance with state law.
At Road to Restoration clinics, residents are still responsible for all fines and fees: the Michigan Department of State does not provide financial support toward financial responsibilities.
Space for clinics may be limited. Pre-registration is HIGHLY recommended.

Access your online account and get your driving record
To obtain your driving record through your online Secretary of State account:
- Go to Online Services and locate the panel titled Driver's License and ID and select the More Driver Services link. Then, follow the prompts to create or log into your account through MiLogin.
- Once in your account, locate your profile and select "Request Driving Record" from the menu.
- Follow the prompts to purchase your record.
- After submitting your payment information, there will be a screen summarizing your transaction and providing the option to print your receipt and view transaction documents. Select the "View Transaction Documents" button to access your driving record (ignore the button labeled "Request Driving Record" - this will take you back to the beginning of the transaction).
Please note, once ordered, the link for your electronic driving record is only accessible for 7 days. During the seven-day period, you may view your driving record as many times as you need to. Log into your account and choose the option to "View Transaction History" to access it. We recommend you save your driving record to your device so that you may conveniently view it for more than seven days.
Sign up to volunteer as an attorney
Pro bono attorneys are needed to provide limited-scope consultations at the clinic, which include the review of driving records, contacting the courts, and helping guide individuals through the steps they need to take to restore their licenses. Recorded training modules and in-person training the day of the clinic will be provided. Experts from the Detroit Justice Center, Michigan Department of State and Attorney General’s Office will be on site to answer questions as well.
Attorneys can volunteer using the sign-up link. It is very rewarding work! A few hours of your time can make all the difference in someone’s life.
