DUI License-Hearing Window Calculator

40 states set a deadline for asking for a hearing or review of a license action after a DUI arrest, from 6 to 90 days. 9 set no fixed deadline and 1 is not confirmed yet. This calculator counts a state's window from a start date you enter. What starts the count differs by state and by notice, so read the result as the statute's window and not as advice on a case; each state's page shows the statute and its exact words.

The calculator

The listed window is counted from this date. States differ on what starts the count, for example the arrest, a notice or its receipt.

License-hearing deadline by state

Days to ask for a hearing or review of the license action that follows a DUI arrest, as each statute sets them. Each state's page quotes the statute's words and says what starts the count.
