How to use this free tool
- Answer the 4 questions below, and add the arrest date if you have it.
- Press "Check your hearing deadline".
- Learn how many days you have to request your license hearing, the day it ends where your state's cell allows a count, and the first-offense penalties your state records. Every line shows its source.
Every page here comes from two researched tables of all 50 states and the District of Columbia. The first covers first-offense DUI law, so you can learn how many days you have to request the license hearing, the jail and fine ranges in the statute, the license suspension, the interlock rule and the lookback period. The second covers clearing your record: the relief your state offers, the waiting periods, whether a DUI conviction can be cleared, Clean Slate status and the filing fee. Each value shows the statute or summary it came from and the date it was checked. The pages explain the law; they do not assess your case.
