Road to Restoration is a free clinic program that connects Michigan residents with restricted and suspended driving privileges with members of Department of State staff and volunteer attorneys. At the clinics, residents work with experts to review their driving record and discuss the steps for reinstating their driver’s license. Please note that license reinstatement is not guaranteed for all residents, but rather is evaluated on an individual basis in accordance with the law.
The Road to Restoration clinic series was started by the Michigan Department of State after the enactment of the Clean Slate to Drive laws, which terminated certain violations and infractions from the records of thousands of Michigan drivers in 2021. The clinics are a partnership between the Department of State, the Michigan Department of the Attorney General, DTE Energy, Miller Canfield Law Firm, the Detroit Justice Center, the Michigan Association of United Ways, 211, and host locations.
