Getting alabama license after tenn dui

[msmidnight75]

I plead to a dui in tenn. Part of my sentence included loss of my tennessee license for one year. I m now a resident of alabama. Once my fines and court conditions are met, how do I go about getting an alabama license after my suspension period is up? Will i have to reinstate my tennesee license first? Will I have to file sr22 with tenn or get an interlock system? This was my first offense and I submitted to blood test but was never provided the results since I plead to the charge. There was no one injured but i did wreck my vehicle.

These sound like great questions to ask of the Alabama and Tennessee DMV's. I can guess that, logically, you will have to get your Tennessee license reinstated before you can get an Alabama license.

First, you should read your suspension notice.

You will need to get your license reinstated in Tennessee in order to get the car insurance needed for a license in Alabama. It might be possible to reinstate your license online but Alabama will probably require a clearance letter from Tennessee before issuing you an Alabama license.

I agree with Zigner that contacting the DMVs of both states is the best way to find out what you need to do. Here is a link to Tennessee's Reinstatement Center where you might get some direction: https://www.tn.gov/safety/article/frlocations

Good luck.
