You may obtain a PA Occupational Limited (“bread-and-butter”) License, which would allow you to drive for work, medical treatment, or school during the suspension period. After serving a 60-day full license suspension, all first offenders are eligible for such licenses. To acquire an Occupational Limited License from PennDOT, you must apply.
To Apply for an OLL:
You must complete Form DL-15 (PDF) Occupational Limited License Petition. Follow the instructions on the petition.
Send it and the appropriate fee to the address listed on the form. Keep the DL-15A (PDF) portion with your OLL once received.
PennDOT will evaluate the petition and determine your eligibility by reviewing the violations on your driving record.
If you do not qualify for an OLL, you will be sent a letter denying your application.
If you qualify for an OLL, you will be sent an OLL camera card, which you will need to take to the nearest Photo License Center to have your photo taken and receive your OLL.
