After an underage drinking citation, is there any way I could retain or get a restricted license so I would be able to still travel back and forth to work and college?

For a first offense underage drinking citation, you may be eligible for an Occupational Limited License (OLL). You must file a petition with PennDOT. The Petition is called a DL-15.

In addition, your record may be expunged after you complete all obligations, including your suspension, and reach 21 years of age.
