Since your driver’s license has been suspended because of your DUI charge in Davie, Florida, you may be able to apply for a hardship license after 30 days of suspension. You can either get a “Business Purposes Only” hardship license which would give you driving privileges limited to any driving necessary to maintain livelihood which includes driving to and from work, necessary on-the-job driving, driving for educational purposes, and driving for church and for medical purposes or “Work Purposes Only” hardship license which would give you driving privilege restricted to employment purposes that is limited to driving to and from work and any necessary on-the-job driving required by an employer or occupation.

For you to get a hardship license, you must enroll first in a DUI School. Then you have to take your receipt or proof of enrolment to any Administrative Reviews Office where you live and fill out the application for a Florida hardship license and pay the required fees. They will review and accept your application for hardship license if you have satisfied all documents and application requirements. You have to complete your course for DUI School within 90 days and turn in your Certificate of Completion.
