How Can a DUI Affect Your Tennessee Driver's License?
A DUI can affect your driving privileges in more than one way. A DUI conviction can result in a period of license revocation, while refusing a lawfully requested chemical test can result in a separate license action under Tennessee’s implied consent law.
These consequences are not necessarily part of the same process. The circumstances of the arrest, your prior driving record, and the reason for the license action can all affect what happens to your driving privileges.

Many drivers qualify for a restricted license after a DUI. A restricted license allows individuals to drive under specified conditions and does not restore unrestricted driving privileges.
Depending on the circumstances, requirements may include a court order, proof of financial responsibility, and installation of an ignition interlock device.
Whether you qualify depends on the particular DUI, your driving history, and the type of license action involved.
How Do You Get Your Tennessee License Reinstated?
Once the applicable requirements have been satisfied, you may need to complete additional steps before your Tennessee driver’s license can be fully reinstated. These can include paying reinstatement fees, providing required documentation, maintaining proof of financial responsibility, and satisfying ignition interlock and other requirements.
The specific requirements depend on why your license was revoked or suspended and whether other issues remain on your driving record.
