fares can quickly add up, and worrying about getting rides to and from

What Are Restricted Licenses?
If you have exhibited good conduct during the time of your license suspension
or probation but still do not have full driving privileges, you may be
able to obtain a restricted driver's license.
What to expect with a restricted driver's license:
- With a restricted license, you can operate a vehicle under closely monitored
conditions.
- Under a restricted driving permit (RDP), you can drive to and from work,
to medical appointments, and run personal day-to-day errands.
-
In some cases, an RDP may not be available to individuals who have been
convicted of
DUI with a blood alcohol content of 0.16% or higher or to people who have
been convicted of
vehicular manslaughter.
-
To discover if you are eligible to receive an RDP,
contact McCall Law Offices, P.C. now.

of your suspension and the reinstatement process will depend on the reason
for your suspension.
-
Complete any necessary requirements: Depending on the reason for your suspension, you may need to complete
certain requirements before you can reinstate your license. For example,
if your license was suspended for a DUI, you may need to complete a drug
and alcohol evaluation and complete a remedial education program.
-
Pay any fines or fees: You will need to pay any outstanding fines or fees before you can reinstate
your license.
-
Wait for processing time: Once you have completed all necessary requirements and paid any fees,
you will need to wait for the Illinois Secretary of State's office
to process your request for reinstatement.

you may be still required to pay reinstatement fees, such as the following:
-
DUI Fees
-
First Suspension - $250
- Each subsequent suspension - $500

Safety Responsibility Suspension - $70

How Long Does It Take To Reinstate A License?
It depends. When you are granted a restricted driving permit (RDP) by the
Illinois Secretary of State, you'll be provided a list of requirements
that you must complete within 90 days after your hearing order. When they
are completed and submitted back to the Secretary of State, it typically
takes 3 to 5 weeks to receive the RDP in the mail. If you are granted
a full reinstatement, then what is required of you will not be as serious
and you will have one year within your hearing order to complete the requirements.
