Interstate Driver's License Compact Licensing

QUESTION: "Can I get a work permit or hardship driver's license if I have a lifetime or indefinite license restraint?"

ANSWER: If your name appears on the National Driver's License Register (NDR) no Interstate Driver's License Compact State will issue you a driver's license. The exception is Colorado.

Under Colorado's Driver's License Compact law (hereinafter DLC), the Colorado DMV may waive an out of state hold under certain circumstances. In order to be eligible for a Colorado Compact license you must meet the legal requirements listed below.
