In North Carolina, the primary administrative penalty for a DWI is license revocation. This comes in two forms: a civil suspension at the time of arrest and a criminal suspension, if convicted. Any driver/operator who is stopped on suspicion of DWI in North Carolina and refuses to submit a breath test or has a BAC of .08% or higher is looking at immediate revocation for 30 days. If convicted, the offender's drivers license is revoked for one year.

In order to have the license reinstated, the offender must complete a drug and alcohol assessment and treatment
