In Massachusetts, a hardship driver’s license is known as a “Cinderella License.” It is issued to drivers whose license has been suspended for certain reasons, such as operating under the influence (OUI). To obtain a hardship driver’s license in Massachusetts, follow these steps: 1. Complete an intake for the required education and treatment programs: Massachusetts law requires drivers with an OUI-related suspension to enroll a Driver Alcohol Education (DAE) program and a substance abuse treatment program before applying for a Cinderella License. 2. Provide documentation, typically though a letter from your employer, that you require a harship license for a 12 hour period. You will need to demonstrate that no public transportation is available. 3. Apply for a hearing with the RMV and submit the required documents.
