Do I need to request an administrative hearing to get a restricted driver’s license?

No.  The Executive Hearing Office has no jurisdiction to determine eligibility for a restricted license.  Whether you are entitled to a restricted license depends upon the particular statute or violation involved and your prior driving history.  When authorized by statute, a restricted license will be issued only after your license has been suspended for the mandatory period as required by law.  You should contact MVD regarding eligibility for a restricted driver license.
