Depending on the type of driver’s licence suspension you have received, you may be able to apply to appeal or ask to have it reviewed.
Please note: 24-hour and distracted driving suspensions are not eligible for appeal or review.
See information on the fees associated with appeals and reviews.
Impaired appeals
If you are convicted of impaired driving or other alcohol and/or drug related offences, you may apply for an appeal with the Licence Suspension Appeal Board (LSAB). Your appeal allows you to ask for a conditional driver’s licence during your suspension.
If the appeal is successful, the LSAB may grant you a conditional driver’s licence with an Ignition Interlock restriction. The incident will remain on your record and will count if a future incident occurs. LSAB appeal applications are available here.
Administrative licence suspension reviews
Tiered Administrative Licence Suspensions and three-month Administrative Licence Suspensions are eligible for Registrar Review.
If the Registrar of Motor Vehicles determines that your suspension was not justified, the incident will be removed from your record. To apply for a review, you must fill out the applicable application:
- Administrative Suspension Review application
- Three-month Administrative Suspension Review application
- Immediate Roadside Prohibition Review application
You may only apply for this review within one year of being served your suspension.
