Dangerous, negligent, or careless driving behavior can result in both serious legal consequences and the temporary or permanent loss of driving privileges.
If a driver's license is suspended, an individual’s driving privileges are temporarily withdrawn for a specific period and may be reinstated once the terms of the suspension are fulfilled. Because a driver’s license renewal transaction is required you must visit a Secretary of State Branch office to get your license reinstated.
If a driver's license is revoked, an individual’s driving privileges are terminated and can only be reinstated if the individual meets eligibility requirements and any conditions or terms set forth in a hearing facilitated through the Michigan Department of State.
Whether through an accumulation of points, driving while intoxicated or other violation there are specific penalties and consequences for each offense.
NOTE: Snowmobile and off-road vehicle (ORV) alcohol-conviction points are placed on a driver record and may result in licensing action against your driving privileges even though the violation happened while operating a snowmobile or ORV.
Many suspensions and revocations either require or can be shortened by an administrative hearing.
Individuals seeking a hearing for a suspension or revocation may do so online using DAIS – the Driver Appeals Integrated System. To use DAIS you must first set up an account by following the online instructions at: http://milogin.michigan.gov
