During an arrest for a first offense drunk driving in California, the law enforcement officer will typically provide you with a 30-day temporary license to drive. It also serves as notice that you can petition the Department of Motor Vehicles and try to stop the permanent suspension of your license.

Note that you must request an Administrative 'per se' hearing with the DMV within 10 days of the date of your arrest. If you do not, you will automatically lose your driving privileges.

The issue of your license is separate from the criminal DUI case. Regardless of the outcome of the court process, only the DMV can decide if your license will be suspended or not and when it will be reinstated. Having professional legal guidance at the license hearing could save your driving privileges.
