This is a quick resource of links needed to comply with Misdemeanor DUI-related consequences.

Scroll past the links for a more detailed breakdown of requirements after a DUI arrest or conviction.

1. Officers use the Admin per se law to take your blood or breath if they suspect you are driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Consequently, whether you are later found guilty or not, your license will be suspended for 90 days. Under the 2023 law, your suspension will start 30 days after arrest. Once you have served your suspension, you must:

   1. Complete a substance-abuse evaluation with an approved provider.

   2. Log-in to MVD Now, and pay the reinstatement fee.

2. You can request an administrative hearing with the Arizona Department of Transportation within 30 days. You should discuss the pros and cons of requesting an MVD hearing with your attorney.

3. After a DUI conviction, you will be required to:

   1. attend Traffic Survival School,

   2. install an ignition interlock device &

   3. pay another fee through the MVD Now website.

   4. Attend the MADD Victim impact panel,

   5. Complete the required hours as recommended in the substances-abuse evaluation, and

   6. Complete required jail time and/or home detention

4. Submit proof to the court. The link above is for Pima County Justice Court other courts have different links. Do NOT assume that the provider has gotten proof to the court. Use the link provided or personally turn the documents into the court clerk (get proof you turned them in!)

5. Attend a Review Hearing- At this hearing, you will appear (usually without an attorney) to show the court that you have completed the requirements above. The review hearing is usually set 6 months to 1 year after a Change of Plea, and sometimes is held online. If you’ve already submitted your requirements, check with the Court in advance to ensure that you need to attend court.

It is important that you keep your address with the MVD up-to-date so that you receive all notices regarding your driver’s license. After a DUI arrest, you should regularly check the MVD Now website to be aware of all consequences. If you have difficulty reinstating your license on the MVDNow website, you can set an appointment with an MVD office here.

For Felony DUI arrests and convictions, or in cases where a driver refuses to submit to a blood or breath test, other consequences may apply. This is not meant to be an all-inclusive list, but a short and informative guide for current clients.
