An Occupational Driver’s License (ODL) is a restricted license that lets you drive at certain times, on specific days, under certain conditions, when you have an “essential need to drive.” An “essential need” means you need to drive for work, get to and from work or school, or perform necessary household duties. You cannot request a (ODL) if your license was suspended for medical reasons, suspended for failing to pay child support or you wish to drive a commercial motor vehicle.

If your license was automatically suspended or cancelled following a conviction, file the Petition in the same court that convicted you. If your license was not suspended or cancelled following a conviction, file the Petition in the county where you live or where the offence occurred. You may have a choice between filing in District Court, County Court-at-Law or Justice of the Peace (JP) court.
