Illinois Hardship License

Illinois Hardship Driver’s License Laws

If your driver’s license has been revoked or suspended, John M. Quinn & Associates, Ltd. can help. In Illinois, drivers who have had their driving privileges revoked or suspended can obtain a Restricted Driving Permit (if applicable). If losing your license results in you suffering hardship then you can apply for a restricted driving permit (RDP).

Hearings for IL Hardship Licenses

The process of obtaining an Illinois hardship driver’s license requires a few steps. You must be over the age of 18 and will be required to attend a hearing where you must demonstrate your eligibility and argue your case. 

Furthermore, you must prove that the suspension or revocation of your license constitutes a hardship. Examples include proof from your place of employment stating that you require your vehicle to do your job or proof that you need your vehicle as transportation to your place of employment and you have no other methods of transportation.
