Cinderella License — Massachusetts DUI Lawyer
Hardship licenses are also known as Cinderella licenses, restricted or limited licenses, and work licenses. They are available to people whose arrest and OUI charges have resulted in the suspension of their driver's licenses. The Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles (RMV) does not automatically distribute hardship licenses; the driver needs to meet certain qualifications, appear at a hearing and submit documentation.

What Is a Cinderella / Hardship License?
These licenses make it possible for people to drive to get to work or school. They are restricted to certain hours; for example, if you need to be at work by 8 a.m., the hardship license will be active from 7:30 a.m. It will expire 12 hours after the start time each day.
Who Is Eligible for a Hardship License?
People have had their licenses suspended because they pled guilty, were found guilty or were given a continuance without a finding in an OUI matter.
What Do I Need to Show to Get a Cinderella License?
Our attorney will help you prepare the documentation required to obtain a hardship license. This includes:
- A letter from your employer listing your work hours
- Maps that show how you get to work and prove that public transportation will not work for you
- Documentation that proves attendance at a school, college or university, or some other educational program
- Other evidence that can support your request, such as proof of self-employment
