If you’ve been convicted of an OWI (drunk driving offense) in Iowa, your license may be suspended or revoked. Before you are able to legally drive again, you may need to complete/obtain the following steps:
- Substance Abuse Evaluation
- DUI/OWI Weekend Program (Second Chance)
- SR-22 Insurance
- Ignition Interlock Device
- Temporary Restricted License (TRL)
Once you complete all these steps, you will need to complete a DOT Application for Temporary Restricted License. You’ll need to pay all fines and fees and show proof of your ignition interlock installation and SR-22 insurance before you are able to obtain your Temporary Restricted License.
