When Charged With DUI in Kansas City, Kansas: Request a Kansas Drivers License Hearing within Ten Days
Your court date might be four to six weeks from the date the citation was issued, but some rights, such as the right to contest the potential suspension or revocation of your Kansas Driving Privileges when charged with DUI, expire within ten business days/ fourteen calendar days of being served with the DC-27 form (Pink Form). The possible suspension or revocation of your Kansas Drivers License is a separate matter from the criminal case in Kansas City Kansas Municipal Court. The administrative hearing request must also be accompanied by a $50.00 fee. Read the fine print: failure to enclose the $50.00 fee with a written request for your Kansas Drivers License Hearing will result in that request being denied.

Green one of the first steps we take on your behalf is to request that an administrative hearing be held; this preserves your right to contest the potential suspension of your Kansas Driving Privileges and also importantly allows you to continue to drive legally in Kansas during this process.
