Idaho DUI Reinstatement

How to Get Your License Back After a DUI in Idaho (2026)

This is the administrative path to reinstatement once your DUI case is resolved — sentence done, program enrolled or finished. It walks the steps Idaho actually requires to clear the administrative suspension and put your license back in your hand.

For the case itself, a contested suspension, or a hearing — that's legal advice. Talk to a licensed attorney in Idaho. The intake will route those matters to an attorney rather than prepare them.

Idaho DUI Administrative Road Back

The steps the ITD expects

Below is what Idaho publishes for the administrative DUI reinstatement path. Where Idaho hasn't published a value, we leave it out rather than guess.

Step 1

Serve the suspension period

The administrative suspension runs for the period Idaho sets. It's separate from any criminal court sentence. The free roadmap below confirms the served period that applies to your case based on the intake answers you give.

Step 3

Install an ignition interlock if required

Idaho's DUI reinstatement requirements reference an ignition interlock device (IID). Whether IID applies depends on your case (first offense vs. repeat, BAC, injury, hardship-license status). The free roadmap surfaces what applies based on your intake answers.

Step 4

File the SR-22

Idaho requires an SR-22 filing — proof of financial responsibility, filed by your insurer with the state. It must be maintained for the period the state requires; a lapse can re-suspend your license. Your insurer files it directly — you can't file it yourself. The free roadmap covers the maintenance period and lapse risk.

Step 5

Pay reinstatement fees

Sourced from Idaho: ALS (Admin License Susp) 90-day = 30 absolute + 60 RDP-eligible → **7-day** hearing window → IID 1 yr → SR-22 → alcohol-ed → RDP application (ITD 3227 + $60) with work-verification (ITD 3208) → reinstatement.

Or have us prepare your packet

Packet preparation isn't live for Idaho yet — the free roadmap is still available now. We'll surface the prepared packet here when it opens.

What this page does and doesn't cover

Covered: the administrative road back to your Idaho license once your DUI case is resolved. What Idaho requires, the order, the fees, the forms.

Not covered: the criminal case itself, plea options, contested suspensions, hearings, or hardship-license strategy. Those are legal advice — we're not a law firm. The intake routes any hearing or contested matter to an attorney rather than preparing it.

Have other holds too?

Most DUI reinstaters also have at least one other hold (a lapsed insurance issue, an unpaid ticket, accumulated points). The free roadmap finds every hold on your case at once.
