Is there a deadline to save my driver’s license?

Short answer

Often yes, and it can be short. Many states give you only a few days to a few weeks after the arrest to ask the DMV for a hearing. Read your paperwork right away and look for the deadline.

Rules differ by state. This is general information, not legal or professional advice.
