SAGINAW, Mich. — A Road to Restoration clinic is coming to Saginaw to help drivers with suspended licenses determine what steps they need to take to restore their driving privileges.
The clinic will be hosted by
- The Michigan Department of State (MDOS)
- Department of Attorney General
- United Way of Saginaw County
- And other community partners
“Creating opportunities to increase financial stability and lift those in our community struggling to make ends meet is our strategic focus,” said Audra Davis, President and CEO for the United Way of Saginaw County. “We are very proud to collaborate on this work as we recognize the lack of reliable transportation is a major hurdle to obtaining and maintaining stable employment. We are grateful to be part of the solution to better serve and support our community.”
“Meeting people where they are and bringing needed services right to them is fundamental to a government that works for the people,” said Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson. “Our commitment to this effort grows as we travel the state and see firsthand the positive impact these services have, not only on individuals, but on the community as a whole.”

Michigan residents can walk in without preregistering between 11:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. Participants are advised to either bring a recent copy of their driving record to the clinic, or purchase a copy at the clinic for $12, for staff to review and provide recommendations on how they can restore their license and provide the services they need to do so on site.
Representatives from the 70th District Court will be available at the clinic to answer questions and take payment of fines or fees.
Eligible residents who may need to take a written test in order to regain their license will be able to do so at the clinic.
The clinic will be open on Wednesday, September 28, only from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. at the SVRC Marketplace—203 S. Washington Ave Saginaw, MI.
In 2021, new state laws lifted suspensions for drivers who failed to pay tickets or court fines, or failed to appear in court, for certain non-moving and other violations. While the new laws lifted suspensions for more than 150,000 Michiganders, many individuals must still take further action before their license is restored. Road to Restoration clinics assist drivers in navigating additional steps they must take to safely get back behind the wheel.
The clinics do not provide DUI expungement services.
Michiganders who believe they may qualify to have their license reinstated or who have a question about their driving history can get more information or sign up for an upcoming clinic near them at Michigan.gov/RoadtoRestoration.
