A PA Occupational Limited License Can Give You the Ability To Continue Driving
If you have a non-commercial driver’s license that has been suspended or that will soon be suspended as a result of a DUI in PA, you may be eligible for a PA occupational limited license, or OLL. With a PA occupational limited license or OLL, you will be allowed to drive under limited circumstances, including:
- To/from work
- To perform duties necessary for your occupation or trade
- To/from medical treatment
- To/from school or purposes related to your education
Eligibility for a PA occupational limited license will depend on a variety of factors. PennDOT frequently denies applications for OLL’s on the basis that there was a refusal to submit to chemical testing or as a result of a prior DUI offense. An individual who has been convicted of a first PA DUI offense is not eligible for an OLL until the individual has served at least 60 days of the license suspension.
To get a PA occupational limited license, you will have to:
- Complete PennDOT Form DL-15, otherwise known as the Occupational Limited License Petition
- Send in the completed form along with the corresponding fee
- Wait to be approved by PennDOT for the license
- Take the OLL camera card you receive from PennDOT to the nearest Photo License Center so you can have your photo taken and receive your OLL
