• The order must be a journal entry from the court bearing the court seal.
• To use limited driving privileges your driver license must be valid.
• You must have a modifying order for each court suspension you are serving.
• If your driver license is expired past 6 months the court must also issue an order to allow retesting to obtain a valid license. The letter must specifically state the fact that the driver is retesting for a CDL license if this is the case.
• If the driver is also under a 12 Point suspension the Points Section will mail the re-test letter.
