More information is on the Frequently Asked Questions page.
Road to Restoration has officially concluded its 2025 season. Information pertaining to the 2026 schedule will be announced in February 2026. Please be sure to visit this webpage at that time to find clinic(s) set to take place nearest you.

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.

To obtain your driving record through your online Secretary of State account:
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.
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.
