DUI and license-suspension rules, state by state
What each state requires to get your license back after a DUI or a suspension
Ignition interlock rules, SR-22 filings, points and suspensions for any cause, reinstatement steps, hardship licenses and whether a DUI can be expunged, for all 50 states and DC — every figure cited to the statute or agency page it comes from.
No account, no forms, nothing to submit. Every cited figure links to its official source.

How this reference works
- 1
Pick a state
Each state page covers one jurisdiction: the interlock statute, first- and repeat-offense requirements, approved device providers, SR-22 rules, and reinstatement fees. Linked pages cover the hardship license, points and other suspensions, and record clearing.
- 2
Read the cited rule
Every value sits next to the statute section or agency page it comes from. The tables state what the source says — they do not interpret how it applies to any individual.
- 3
Go to the official source
Cited links lead to the state legislature, the licensing agency, and each vendor's own locator. WheelsBack stores no installer locations and asks readers for no personal information.

What WheelsBack is
WheelsBack is a reference directory. Each state page collects what that state's law and licensing agency publish about ignition interlock devices (IIDs), SR-22 financial-responsibility filings, license reinstatement, hardship licenses, points and other suspensions, and whether a DUI conviction can be expunged, and links to the primary source for every figure.
It is general legal information, not legal advice. Requirements depend on the specific offense, the court, and the licensing agency, and they change. Nothing here is a substitute for the statute itself or for a licensed attorney in the relevant state.

How verification works
A state page is published to search engines only after every field on it has been checked against a primary source — the statute text, the administrative code, or the official page of the state licensing agency. Secondary sources (news articles, law-firm blogs, vendor marketing) are not accepted as the basis for any figure.
Every record carries a verification date. If a record is not re-checked within 365 days, every page for that state shows a dated notice saying so; if it is still unchecked after two years, the state is automatically withdrawn from search engines until it is verified again.
- Primary sources only — statute, regulation, or official agency page.
- Per-record verification date shown at the bottom of every state page.
- Unverified records, and records unchecked for two years, are hidden from search engines automatically, not by promise; a record past one year stays visible with a dated notice.
- A record whose official source says its own text is out of date is held: the page stays out of search engines until the current text has been verified.
- The last automated pass, on October 10, 2026, re-read 3,694 quotations across 51 states on their official pages and found them unchanged; 189 more sit on pages that block automated reading and are checked by hand at re-verification.
