Frequently asked questions (FAQs)

What do I need to do to get my driver's license reinstated?
If you had a suspended or restricted driver’s license and the suspension or restriction period is over, you may pay your reinstatement fee through Online Services or by mail. Certain situations will require an office visit to reapply for your license.

If you have a revoked or denied driver's license, depending on your driving record, you may have to apply to the Office of Hearings and Administrative Oversight or Circuit Court for an appeal hearing before your driver license can be reinstated.
