You can get a hardship license or limited driving permit in
Georgia
under certain circumstances if you can prove a significant hardship from losing your license. A limited driving permit will allow you to drive to a limited set of destinations until you can reinstate your license, such as driving to work, class, or medical appointments.
Typically, you are eligible for a Georgia hardship license if it is:
- Your firstDUI conviction
Below is a summary of requirements that you must meet to apply for a limited permit in Georgia:
- You must have proof that losing your driving rights is causing undue hardship, including having no means to get to work other than driving
- You must still have the ability to drive with proper documentation
- You must be over 21 years of age
To get your hardship license, you will need to complete a Risk Reduction Assessment and drug and alcohol evaluation. If your suspension is related to a DUI, you will also be required to complete a drug and alcohol awareness and treatment program.
Keep in mind: In some cases, you will need to pay for the installation of an ignition interlock device on your car while you are driving with a limited permit.
