Your license is suspended for one year from the date of the conviction. However, if you have not applied for a license it can be denied for one year after you are eligible to receive your license. Contact a lawyer or the DMV.

Apply for the license and they will tell you what you need to do. Maybe nothing.

You had your license suspended for up to a year because you were arrested for DUI. If the court also suspended your license, that suspension would run consecutive to the one from DMV. You were probably able to apply for reissuance several years ago, as long as you complied with all the terms of sentencing and probation imposed by the court. If so, contact DMV for reissuance. If you did NOT comply with all the court orders, you would have an arrest warrant.

You must first contact the Sec of State to see if the suspension or revocation period has ended. If you are still under rest., then file for adm. review with the s/s. If unsuccessful with the hearing officer, then circuit court is the next step. The S/S has an application to start the process.

Probation for a DUI is 5 years from the date of conviction. What do your sentencing orders say about your license? Since DOL controls license suspension, I suggest that you call them and find out what is necessary to reinstate your license. I do know that they will require at minimum, high risk (SR22) insurance, and that you have completed some form of alcohol counseling as may have been ordered by the court.

You could have gotten it 5 years ago, no reason to wait until now.

You should have been eligible to get freely reinstated after 90 days from a first offense. Sounds odd to me.
