Wichita Municipal Court has launched a new program called the Wichita Area Restoration Program (WARP) to assist residents with getting their driver’s licenses back after a suspension.
A driver’s license can be suspended for a variety of reasons, including driving without insurance, driving under the influence, or having too many traffic violations. For many drivers with a suspended license, WARP will be able to help them on the path to reinstatement.
WARP offers three services to those seeking to get their license reinstated back to legal good standing:
- Court clerical staff will pull a resident’s public driving record and highlight the barrier to reinstatement
- If there are suspensions in Wichita Municipal Court or Sedgwick County Traffic Court and the driver has a manifest hardship, staff will assist the resident you in filing a fee, fine, and cost forgiveness motion. If the suspensions are in Wichita Municipal Court, staff will file the motion immediately upon completion. If the motion is in Sedgwick County Traffic Court, the motion will need to be filed Pro Se by the driver.
- Staff members will also help residents file applications for hardship licenses.
Court staff cannot offer legal services or advice but will provide information and clerical assistance to lower barriers toward achieving a resident’s driver’s license reinstatement. This is service is ideal for those with simple cases that do not include administrative suspensions or revocations. More complicated cases may require legal assistance.
Interested residents may seek help by visiting the WARP office between 8:30 a.m.–noon and 1-4 p.m., Monday through Friday inside City Hall, 455 N. Main. To learn more, please visit www.wichita.gov/warp.
