Minnesota, like many other states, employs a pre-hearing license revocation system. If you have been arrested for drunk driving, the police will take your license away on the night of your arrest if:
(1) you refused to submit to chemical testing, or;
(2) you submitted to testing and the results showed a blood alcohol concentration of .08% or more.
You will be issued a 7-day temporary license, after which your privilege to drive is revoked. To obtain a DWI limited license you must:
(a) Visit your nearest driver-testing station and pay the reinstatement fee for the Minnesota DWI limited license;
The reinstatement fee is currently $680.00.
(b) Allow the statutory waiting period to expire;
You will not be issued a Minnesota DWI limited license until your period of ineligibility has expired. Minnesota does not allow for an immediate limited license. Your current offense and prior DWI record determine when you are eligible for a limited license. Click here to determine your eligibility for a limited license or “work permit’.
