Obtaining/Reviewing Your “Master Driving Record” in Michigan

Are you searching for driver's license restoration in Michigan?

The Michigan Secretary of State—like any governmental agency—has a lot of “red tape” and “grey guidelines” for how and when a suspended or revoked driver can seek restoration of privileges.  Knowing when you are eligible for a license appeals hearing is often the most important question, as applying too soon can end result in wasted money/resources/effort, yet waiting too long might prevent a new job, or a promotion, or the ability to take care of your children. 

Every day, people from all over Michigan (and even the country) call our firm and ask these questions:

•  “Is my license suspended, or revoked?”

• “When am I eligible to seek return of my license?”

• “What are my chances of success at a license restoration hearing?”

Answering these questions often hinges on a careful review of a person’s “Michigan Master Driving Record,” which documents all criminal convictions, civil infractions, accidents, and prior suspensions.  More importantly, it clearly details the status of a person’s license:  Valid; Suspended; or Revoked/Denied.  And, it clearly reveals when the person is eligible for a license appeal:  Definite Suspension; Indefinite Suspension; Revoked/Denied and Eligible at a Future Date.

Alternatively, clients can go online to the Michigan Secretary of State website and follow this link:
