How do you get a hardship license in Georgia?
I’m so stressed! My license was suspended for the first time for getting too many points, but I won’t be able to get to work without driving. How can I apply for a hardship license in Georgia?

Not having the means to get to work is definitely stressful!
You can get a hardship license in
Georgia
, also called a limited permit, if you can prove a significant hardship from losing your license. Typically, you are eligible if it is your first DUI conviction or a first or second suspension for points. Below is a summary of requirements that you must meet to apply for a limited permit:
- You have proof that losing your driving rights is causing undue hardship, including having no means to get to work other than driving
- You must still have the ability to drive with proper documentation
- You must be over 21 years of age
In some cases, you will need to pay for the installation of an ignition interlock device on your car while you are driving with a limited permit.
To get your hardship license, you will need to complete a Risk Reduction Assessment and drug and alcohol evaluation. If your suspension is related to a DUI, you will also be required to complete a drug and alcohol awareness and treatment program.
Although a license suspension means your
car insurance
