Administrative

Administrative Per Se: This only happens if you fail a breath test, or refuse to take one, in which case your license will be confiscated immediately. You will receive a 10-day temporary license from your arresting officer. During this time you can request a hearing to challenge your suspension. If you do not, or if your challenge is unsuccessful, your license will automatically be suspended for one year. You can request a temporary license after 30 days in Georgia. This will allow you to drive provided you have an ignition interlock installed.

Every situation and state is unique, please consult with your attorney or your state licensing authority to confirm your requirements and obligations.

Judicial

This occurs when you are sentenced by a Georgia court after a trial or plea agreement. Penalties include license suspension, jail time, and community service hours. You might have to have an ignition interlock installed and undergo alcohol treatment.

You must attend to both administrative and judicial actions. Even if you are not convicted in the court of a DUI offense, your administrative suspension can still be in effect. How you handle your administrative case can also have a bearing on your court-imposed penalties.
