What to do to re-instate my license if 4 years ago I was ticketed for a DUI?
I was 17 ay the time. On the ticket it was stated as an infraction not a misdemeanor nor a felony. My license was suspended by the DMV for a one year period. I showed up to court on the date that was on my ticket, but when I got to the court the clerk had told me that my name was not showing up on the courts computer files. I am currently trying to get my license reinstated now, and was wondering if I have to go through the DUI program to reinstate it? And if the court case is done or will it appear later?

You had shown up to court but there was nothing on the citation that the court could see. If this is the case, then I would say either it was something that was lost and may be barred by the statute of limitations now. Go to the court and see if you can search for your name. If nothing, you might simply be able to have the matter considered barred but you will need a lawyer to help with you this so you can get your license back.
