Information for individuals seeking restoration of a license after a conviction of driving while impaired or driving while less than 21 years of age after consuming alcohol or drugs in the state of North Carolina.

The State of North Carolina requires that any individual convicted of driving while impaired or driving while less than 21 years old after consuming alcohol or drugs in the state to obtain a certificate of completion as a condition of license restoration, per G.S. 20-17.6 (b)

In order to obtain a certificate of completion, the individual must have a substance abuse assessment and complete an education course or substance abuse treatment per G.S. 20-17.6 (c)

Per G.S. 122C-142.1 (g), An individual convicted of one of the above mentioned charges may complete services (assessment and education or treatment) in their home state to meet the requirements of the state of North Carolina. After services are completed in the individual's home state, documentation pertaining to those services will need to be reviewed by an authorized DWI service provider in the State of North Carolina. The North Carolina provider will utilize the documentation to generate paperwork that is required by our state to clear the "stop" of the license.

Anyone in need of services may locate an authorized North Carolina DWI service provider by visiting www.ncdwiservices.org. It suggested that you contact a North Carolina provider before you begin your services, so that you will be clear as to what our requirements are. Any questions pertaining to this process may be directed to D. Jason Reynolds, DWI Program Consultant, Office of Driving While Impaired Services.
