If you are convicted of DUI/DWI, it will result in your license being suspended or revoked. This means that your driving privileges will be taken away and you will need to apply for a reinstatement of your license with the MVA, once the period of suspension or revocation is over.
Reinstating a license after a suspension or revocation will also mean taking the driving tests all over again. These will include the vision test, knowledge test and the road test. If you do not complete the reinstatement requirements, the license will remain suspended or revoked.
a) To complete the reinstatement requirements, you must prove that you have successfully completed the Maryland Alcohol and Drug Abuse Program or a comparable program (the agency will send the proof to the MVA once you have completed the program), pay the reinstatement fee of $45/$75, and maintain proof of financial responsibility for three years from the date of suspension/revocation by filing SR-22.
b) If you are being convicted, it is mandatory for the court to order an ignition interlock device to be placed for breathalyser tests on any vehicle you drive for three months to one year after the end of the one year of suspension.
c) You can submit the reinstatement application and fees in person at a MVA office near you.
