It is doubtful that your restricted license is valid in Indiana. Someone else can drive your car; however, restricted licenses are usually only valid in Michigan. And again, if someone drives your car, they are going to have to blow into the interlock when asked to, when driving, before you start your car, just like you would have to do. You'd have to check with Indiana DMV to see if your license is valid. I've had many clients who have an interlock on and then have moved. It is a nightmare because you still have to have interlock calibrated in Michigan. This can be done by Fedex; however, it is expensive, with you paying shipment both ways. You should apply for another hearing 30 days before your interlock is on for a year, as it has to be on for one year minimum. You have to do everything you did before, final report from interlock company, drug test, substance abuse/alcohol assessment, petitioner's affidavit, letters in support of sobriety. You can do it without a hearing; however, I have heard that it is best to do it with a hearing officer and Lansing and Livonia are the more lenient. I would not go to Grand Rapids.

Indiana will not give you your license back until you get your Michigan drivers license cleared up first. Consult with an experienced Michigan driver's license restoration or appeals attorney in your area for more information on how to accomplish this and what your eligibility is.

Need the details but it would appear that you should be able to get an Indiana license with the same restrictions as your present Michigan on due to the reciprocity between tithe states. Try and the Indiana DMV first, and engage an attorney if you fail.
