Drivers License Reinstatement

License Reinstatement After a Suspension, Revocation, Denial or Cancellation

Drivers License Reinstatement

While you may be eligible for Drivers License Reinstatement after a certain period of suspension or revocation time has elapsed, reinstatement is not automatic and you must complete certain requirements in order to restore your driving privileges. Until all requirements are completed, your license will indefinitely remain under restraint and if you are caught driving you will most likely be charged with Driving Under Restraint.

Point Suspension

If your license is suspended due to a Point Suspension, you will become eligible for a driver’s license reinstatement only after the license suspension period (up to one year or more) has elapsed.

Reinstatement After a Point Suspension Requires Two Steps:
Drivers License ReinstatementStep 1:
Complete the Reinstatement Form, with a $95.00 Reinstatement Fee; and

After you complete Step 1, the DMV will mail to you (usually mailed out within 20 days) a Letter of Clearance, advising you that you are ready for the next step to restore your driving privileges. You must then go to the DMV and:

b. Pay a renewal fee if your license expired during the suspension period; and
c. Provide proof of current liability insurance (SR-22 Liability Insurance will be required in some cases) with your name on the policy.
