DMV License Revocation

Call 720.542.6148

When an underage driver is pulled over and tests positive for alcohol in their system there are what’s called “per se” license revocations administered through the DMV.

These license revocations are different than the one year revocation due to a criminal conviction. Instead, these are effective regardless of the criminal case’s outcome. These revocations are as follows:

Criminal Conviction

An underage driver’s “conviction” of a DUI or DWAI will result in a one year revocation of the driver’s license. There is no probationary license/ignition interlock allowed, this is one year of no driving whatsoever.

This one year runs concurrent to any revocation through the DMV. For example, if an underage driver has a BAC of .065 then they will 1) lose their driver’s license for three months through the DMV, and 2) if at the conclusion of their criminal case they are convicted of DUI/DWAI then they will lose their license for one year but will be given credit for the three months they have already been revoked.
