Getting Your License Back Shouldn't Take Months of Phone Tag

The MAU has the power to reinstate your license β€” but only if every requirement is met perfectly. We make sure it is.

What Does the Mandatory Actions Unit Handle?

The MAU is the DMV division responsible for all DUI-related license actions in California.

πŸ”§

Ignition Interlock Device (IID)

Required for most DUI offenders. The MAU manages IID installation verification, monitoring compliance, and removal authorization. Duration: 6 months (1st) to 3 years (4th+).

πŸ“‹

License Reinstatement

After completing your suspension period, DUI program, and other requirements, you apply through the MAU for reinstatement using form DL-4006.

πŸ›‘οΈ

SR-22 Insurance Verification

The MAU verifies your SR-22 insurance filing. Required for 3 years. If your SR-22 lapses even one day, the MAU immediately re-suspends your license.

πŸ“š

DUI Program Completion

The MAU tracks your enrollment and completion of DHCS-licensed DUI programs (3-month, 9-month, 18-month, or 30-month depending on offense).

πŸ“

Out-of-State Requests

If you moved out of California with a DUI suspension, the MAU handles termination-of-action requests (form DL-4062) and interstate compact issues.

βš–οΈ

Exemption Requests

Medical exemptions from IID, employer vehicle exemptions, and other special circumstances are reviewed by the MAU.
