How do you get a hardship license in TN? I have a DUI suspension but I can’t get to work without driving and I’m going to get fired if I can’t come in.

To get a hardship license in
TN
, you’ll need to request a certified order and have it signed by a judge who either presides:
  • In the court where you were convicted of your DUI, or
  • In the court of the county where you currently reside.
You’ll also typically be required to complete an alcohol or drug treatment course to be eligible for a hardship license and wait for a certain period of time before you can apply for a new license. Once you do these things, you can apply for your restricted temporary license.
You’ll also typically see higher [car insurance](
