What to Do After Your Virginia DUI Case

When your case is resolved, make sure you understand what the court ordered. A suspended sentence, program requirement, or license restriction can create problems later if you miss a condition or deadline.

This page is a general checklist. Your written court order and the instructions for your particular case control. If something is unclear, contact the attorney handling your case before acting.

Review the Court Order

Keep copies of the disposition, any restricted driving order, and all program paperwork. Confirm the requirements for fines and costs, probation, alcohol education or treatment, and any reporting dates. Record the deadlines that apply to you.

Confirm Any ASAP Requirements

If the court directs you to enroll in the Virginia Alcohol Safety Action Program, follow the order and confirm enrollment instructions with the assigned program. Keep proof of enrollment and completion. Contact your lawyer promptly if you cannot meet a requirement.

Use the official ASAP program directory to confirm current program contact information.

Verify Your Driving Status Before Driving

Do not assume the end of court means you may drive. Review the court order, any ignition interlock conditions, and your DMV requirements. A restricted driving order and full license reinstatement are different matters. Out-of-state drivers may also need advice about their home state.

Keep Proof of Compliance

Save receipts, completion certificates, and correspondence. If you receive a notice alleging noncompliance, send it to your attorney promptly.
