How to get a Florida Hardship License
By Kristin Stancato

If you have a suspended license in the state of Florida, follow the steps below to obtain a hardship license so you can drive legally while getting your license back.

1. Sign up for the online 12 hour traffic school (ADI) class. One you’ve paid, you will receive a letter of enrollment.
2. Go to the Clerk of Court and get a “30 day search” of your driving record. This takes just a few minutes and they will give you a letter that provides information about your driving record.
3. After you’ve received the Letter of Enrollment from our Traffic School and a letter from the Clerk, you can go to the DMV and apply for a hardship license with a Hearing Officer. Later, you’ll still need to complete our 12 hour course. If you are a “habitual offender” as indicated in the DMV Letter of Enrollment, you must complete the course before you can apply for the hardship license.

Ways to Take the Course

Generally, traffic school classes include lectures by law officials, safety movies and discussions about specific violations in a traditional classroom setting for 12 hours. Thanks to the Internet, you can now take the suspended license course online right from the comfort of your own home. The classes are taught with interactive web applications that include graphics and animations. The online ADI course is simple to use with no computer experience needed and you can get the certificate you need to get your full license back via email.

The Rules

The steps above are for drivers that have had their license suspended in the state of Florida for points, as a habitual traffic offender (non-DUI related), or by court order. Some violations are not eligible for a hardship license:

Suspended license for being incapable of operating a motor vehicle safely

Suspension is for one year. You are not eligible for a hardship license.

Conviction for Driving Under the Influence (DUI)

Suspension is for 180 days to 1 year. DUI School completion and treatment, if referred, is required. You then can apply for a hardship license in any Administrative Reviews Office where you live.
