How Do I Reinstate My Tennessee Driving Privileges?


Tennessee residents who have had their driving privileges revoked or suspended because of a Driving Under the Influence conviction (or because of other traffic issues) often want to know the steps required to reinstate their Tennessee driving privileges. There is no “one-size-fits-all” answer, however, because the requirements are unique for each individual and depend on the circumstances of the revocation or suspension.

Fortunately, the State of Tennessee has made it quite easy to answer this question. By visiting the following website and entering certain key information (last name, date of birth, Tennessee driver license/I.D. number, and Social Security Number), Tennessee residents may discover the individual requirements that they need to satisfy before the Department of Safety will reinstate their driver license. This website allows individuals to not only discover the reinstatement requirements if their driving privileges have been revoked, but one may also add an emergency contact to their license, order a duplicate license, document a change of address, or even obtain a driving history.

The Oberman & Rice law firm often deals with issues involving Tennessee driver licenses, often relating to Tennessee DUI offenses or other traffic issues.  Should you have any legal issues regarding your Tennessee driver license, our attorneys, Steve, Sara, and A.Z. are available to speak with you and can be reached by calling (865) 249-7200.

    Gwyn,
    Thank you for reaching out to Oberman and Rice with your question about whether you will have to take another test when you apply to reinstate your driver license. Due to ever-changing regulations at the Tennessee Department of Safety & Homeland Security, we do not provide such answers unless we are retained and research the current requirements. If you prefer, you may contact the Tennessee Department of Safety & Homeland Security at ‭(615) 251-5166‬. I am certain they will be pleased to answer your question.
