Who is eligible for Michigan BDIC (SOS letter explained)?
Short answer: The SOS contacts eligible drivers. To qualify, you generally need a valid Michigan non‑commercial license, a ticket issued in Michigan, and an eligible (non‑criminal) violation; you weren’t driving a CMV, and you didn’t have more than two points at the time of the ticket. If you meet the criteria, your letter/email will give you 60 days to enroll and pass BDIC with an approved sponsor.
What to do next
- Read your SOS notice carefully for your exact 60‑day window.
- Enroll with an approved sponsor and plan to finish early.
- Contact SOS if you believe you’re eligible but didn’t receive notice.
