Michigan DAAD Evaluation
A driver's license evaluation is a critical component of Michigan's license reinstatement process. When your driving privileges have been revoked due to multiple alcohol or drug-related offenses, the Michigan Secretary of State requires a comprehensive substance use evaluation before you can petition the Driver Assessment and Appeal Division (DAAD) for reinstatement.
Our certified evaluator conducts thorough assessments that meet all DAAD requirements. The quality of your evaluation report can significantly impact the outcome of your hearing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a driver's license evaluation?
A driver's license evaluation is a comprehensive substance use assessment required by the Michigan Secretary of State for license reinstatement after revocation due to alcohol or drug-related offenses. The evaluation determines your current risk level and treatment needs, and the resulting report is submitted as evidence at your DAAD hearing.
Who needs a Michigan DAAD evaluation?
Anyone whose Michigan driver's license has been revoked due to two or more alcohol or drug-related convictions must complete a substance use evaluation before petitioning the DAAD (Driver Assessment and Appeal Division) for reinstatement. This applies to DUI, OWI, and drug-related driving offenses.
What does the evaluation process include?
The evaluation includes a clinical interview, review of your driving and legal history, substance use history assessment, psychosocial evaluation, and standardized screening instruments. The entire process typically takes 60–90 minutes and can be completed in a single appointment.
How long does it take to receive my report?
Reports are typically completed within 3–5 business days. Rush processing is available for clients with upcoming hearing dates. The report includes all required components for DAAD submission, including clinical findings, DSM-5 diagnosis, treatment recommendations, and prognosis.
Can you help me prepare for my DAAD hearing?
Yes. Our certified evaluator can provide guidance on what to expect at your hearing, review your sobriety documentation, and ensure your evaluation report addresses the specific criteria the DAAD considers. We can also provide expert testimony if needed.
Do you offer telehealth evaluations?
