How Long Do You Lose Your License for a DUI?

The answer to how long you may lose your license after a DUI arrest depends on the evidence you provided the police at the scene or in the hospital.

If you blow over the legal limit, which is .08 in Florida, your license is automatically revoked and suspended for 6 months.

If you refused to blow into the police officer’s breathalyzer, your license is revoked, and it is suspended for 1 year. This type of license suspension is called an administrative suspension.

You may be able to obtain a temporary driving permit under certain circumstances.
