How To Apply For A Limited Driving Privilege As A Participant Of The Jasper County Dwi Court

HOW TO APPLY FOR A LIMITED DRIVING PRIVILEGE

AS A PARTICIPANT OF THE JASPER COUNTY DWI COURT

1. Once you have met the minimum requirements, submit an Application for Limited Driving Privilege at

DWI Court. You must attach a current “Driver Records with Personal Information” (available at the

DMV).

You will also need to ensure you do not have any current out of state and in-state suspensions

resulting from cases other than the present DWI. If you have current suspensions, they MUST be

resolved one (1) week prior to your scheduled court date.

Do not proceed to the following steps until the DWI Court advises you to do so.

2. Once you are told to move forward you will need to file a petition

for a LDP at the Joplin Courthouse

located at 601 S. Pearl Joplin, MO 64801. You will need to report to the 3

floor to the Circuit Clerks

Office (Room 300) to file your petition. The case will then be assigned to the DWI Court. The filing fee

is $51.00 (money order or cashier’s check). The Department of Revenue will typically file a formal

answer within 45 days of receiving the petition. Once a formal answer has been filed, your court date

will be set.

Do not proceed to the following steps until the DWI Court advises you to do so.

3. Once you have secured a court date for your Limited Driving Privilege, you will need to contact Matt

Ouren at 417-438-4245 to secure a meeting to ensure you have all appropriate paperwork and

documentation needed for your court date. During this meeting you will discuss what to expect on your

court day in addition to documents that will be needed prior to court and after court in order to ensure

your LDP is valid.

Documentation needed prior to your scheduled court date:

 You MUST obtain liability insurance (SR-22) one week prior to the LDP hearing.

 It would also be in your best interest to secure an appointment for installation of your

Ignition Interlock Device (IID) that has a photo identification and GPS technology.

 VIP certificate of completion (if the court does not already have it on file)

 Secure hair follicle test so that the results can be filed with the court on your scheduled

court date. The results of your hair follicle will need to be faxed to the attention of Matt

Ouren at 417-782-7172.

Please make sure your license has not expired. If it has, you will have to take the driver’s test again prior to receiving a LDP.

You may consult and hire a private attorney to file the petition or you may file it pro se (without an attorney). The DWI Judge and

Prosecutor cannot give you legal advice on this petition.
