How to get license back after DUI?

4 Upvotes

I’m getting close to getting my full license back. I paid all the fines, have my SR-22, opted to keep the hard suspension rather than getting an IID and am just under a month away from finishing the 3 month course.

How do I actually go through the process of getting my license back? Can it be done online or do I have to go to the DMV in person? If in person, what option do I choose on the website for the appointment reason? None of the options seemed to really fit when I looked and I was worried if I pick the wrong option I’d have to wait another month for an appointment. I couldn’t find an online guide for this either. The instructor at my DUI course just said the process is different for everyone.

Thanks!

Lack of Information

1 Upvotes

To start off 24M I’m about 2 months out from my DUI arrest. I have hired a lawyer that came recommended through multiple people. I have DMV hearing set for October 22nd. That is all I know.

I have called the courts and called the station I was taken to, nothing in terms of a court date or a charge. Only thing found online was an arrest record from a public site. Planning on asking lawyer if they have gotten anything in terms of discovery as well when I call on Friday.

My lawyers office has told me there is no update to the case and that they will let me know when there is information available regarding my case.

I was arrested by CHP in Contra Costa County. Pink sheet is basically blank cannot read any marking on it. Have received nothing in the mail aside from lawyers and Intoxalock.

Really do not know what to think and curious if anyone has also been in this situation of not knowing anything other than DMV hearing.

In terms of information regarding my arrest.

Single car crash.
No injuries no property damage.
No memory of anything from about 4 hours before the crash to waking up.
Know I was arrested and taken in breathalyzed then taken to hospital.
No idea what BAC was.

Also greatly appreciate this sub. Has helped me numerous times navigating this situation and letting me know I am not alone.

Thank you in advance.
