DUI/DWI - Limited License Privileges In Alaska

Limited License Privileges

The court may grant limited license privileges to allow a DUI defendant to
drive in order to earn a livelihood if the court determines that the driver
may drive without excessive risk to the public. The availability and terms
of a limited license will vary depending on the driver’s criminal, driving
and treatment history. If the defendant’s license was also suspended by
DMV, the defendant must also obtain a limited license from DMV. A
request for a limited license from DMV may be made by paying a
nonrefundable $100 fee and completing an application form available at
DMV offices. The form requires a certification of employment and, in
many cases, a certification of good standing with an alcohol counseling
agency. The applicant will also be required to provide proof of future
financial responsibility (either a Certificate of Insurance or a $125,000
surety bond). If DMV grants a limited license, the driver may submit the
same limited license application form to the court.
