Arrested for DUI in Kansas? 14 days to ask for the hearing.
Counted from the day the officer's form was served. If that was today, the last day is Friday, October 23. Miss it and the suspension starts on its own (KDOR rule).
The two clocks: court and KDOR
Your Kansas DUI arrest opened a criminal case and a separate license case with the KDOR. If that time runs out, your license can be suspended before you ever see a judge.
The request period uses service of the officer's certification; mail service has extra time. (KDOR rule)
A first offense in Kansas
The measured-test DUI rule covers an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more within three hours of driving or attempted driving (Kansas law).
| What | The rule |
|---|---|
| Fine | A first conviction carries a statutory fine of $750 to $1,000 |
| Agency steps | Send the alcohol-related hearing request to the Division of Vehicles in writing by mail or fax |
The judge picks a number inside each range. So ask where cases like yours land in Kansas (Kansas penalty rules).
