A person whose driver’s license has been suspended or revoked following an arrest for DUI/DWI generally may apply to have their license reinstated at the end of the suspension or revocation period by paying a reissue or reinstatement fee and providing proof of financial responsibility (insurance)—but only after completing any court-ordered sentence, including (1) jail or prison time, (2) work furlough or work release, (3) probation, (4) DUI traffic school, alcohol rehabilitation, treatment, or intervention programs, and (5) payment of fines and court costs.

A driver’s license that has been suspended or revoked is not automatically reinstated when the suspension or revocation period ends, and the driver must complete the reinstatement process to drive legally.

Laws regarding the reinstatement of a driver's license after suspension or revocation for a DUI/DWI arrest vary from state to state and are generally located in a state's statutes—often in the vehicle code, transportation code, or vehicle and traffic code.

In Arizona, after a driver's license has been suspended or revoked due to a DUI/DWI arrest, the individual must wait until the end of the suspension or revocation period before applying for reinstatement. To legally reinstate their license, the individual must complete all court-ordered sentences, which can include jail or prison time, work furlough or release, probation, DUI traffic school, alcohol rehabilitation, treatment, or intervention programs, and the payment of all fines and court costs. Additionally, they must pay a reinstatement fee and provide proof of financial responsibility, typically in the form of auto insurance. It's important to note that the license is not automatically reinstated after the suspension or revocation period; the driver must actively complete the reinstatement process. The specific requirements and procedures for reinstating a driver's license in Arizona can be found in the state's vehicle or transportation codes.
