Qualifying for a Massachusetts OUI Hardship License
Qualifying for a Massachusetts OUI Hardship License
If you have been charged with Operating Under the Influence (OUI) in Massachusetts and your license has been suspended, you may be able to file for a hardship license. A hardship license is granted in certain cases to Massachusetts OUI offenders, and allows the licensee to drive for certain 12-hour periods throughout the week. The purpose of this license is to avoid a clear hardship that not having a driver’s license would cause, like an inability to get to work. In order to qualify for a Massachusetts OUI hardship license, you must meet certain criteria depending on your OUI history and your current situation.
What Can I Get a Hardship License For?
In Massachusetts, you can apply for a hardship license after pleading guilty to, convicted of, or Continued Without a Finding for an OUI. If this is the case, you will then need to prove that you must be able to drive for:
- Work
- Medical appointments
- Education purposes
- Other situations that will be determined to be valid by the Registry of Motor Vehicles
If not having access to transportation for any of the above situations will create a serious hardship, read on about the additional criteria required for a hardship license.
First Offense OUI Hardship License
- You have not operated a motor vehicle since the time of your suspension
- You have no additional license suspensions in effect
- You have a documented hardship that you are able to prove
- This must be a letter from your employer, including your working hours
- If you are selfemployed, you must be able to prove that you rely on personal transportation
- You are able to prove that public transportation is not an option
- Additional requirements such as qualifying for a 24D disposition, and enrolled in the 9024D Program.
Multiple Offense OUI Hardship License
In addition to meeting all criteria of the first offense OUI hardship license, you must meet these requirements as well:
- Meet the minimum required suspension time
- Completed the required alcohol treatment program
- Provide proof for completing all aftercare
- Ignition Interlock installed in your vehicle. This is an onboard breathalyzer that you must use before being allowed to operate your vehicle.
