Driver's License Reinstatement

Out of State License Reinstatement Lawyer

The Kurash Law Firm is frequently contacted by individuals who, while residing in Illinois, received violations (DUI or other) which resulted in the Suspension or Revocation of their Illinois’ Driving Privileges.


In the above mentioned instances, the individuals have relocated out of Illinois and are now attempting to seek driving privileges in the State they now reside, but are unable too, because of the “HOLD” or “STOP” in Illinois.


In other instances, individuals were able to receive a driver’s license in another state prior to the entry of a Suspension or Revocation on their Illinois’ driving record. As a result, they are unable to renew it as the National Database PDPS (Problem Driver Point System) reveals the “HOLD” or “STOP” in Illinois and they are told they cannot renew their license until such is cleared.

Personal Injury

The Kurash Law Firm has successfully represented hundreds of individuals who reside in other states and are seeking clearance of the “HOLD” or “STOP” on their Illinois record. The process is called an “Out of State Petition.”


This process can be confusing and complicated, not to mention time consuming. The Kurash Law Firm has the experience and expertise to guide you through this process in a timely and effective manner so you can receive the return of driving privileges in the state you now reside.


The Kurash Law Firm takes great pride in making sure its clients are properly prepared for their Out of State Petition so as to ensure the greatest likelihood of SUCCESS!!!

Out of State Petitioners – How We Can Help You

If you currently reside outside of Illinois, but have drivers’ privileges revoked or suspended in Illinois, you may be eligible for the “Out of State Petition” process. You are essentially seeking a “clearance” of the stop currently on your privileges so that you may apply for a license in the State you currently reside.



Many individuals residing outside of Illinois have found that because of the implementation of a “national database”, renewal of a license currently held gets rejected, forcing them to resolve the “stop” in Illinois before they will ever be able to receive privileges to drive in another state.


The Out of State Hearing process can be very difficult to navigate and little information is available to rectify this. Our office has successfully represented hundreds of out of state residents in obtaining clearance of the Illinois stop, thereby allowing them to get full driving privileges in the state they now reside.
