REINSTATE YOUR FLORIDA DRIVER’S LICENSE

You will receive a Notice of Restoration from the DHS & MV after you have completed your suspension period. The notice will include complete instructions regarding how to get your license back. The process differs according to the infraction:

Reinstatement After Traffic Summons or Failure to Pay a Fine:

You will need to provide proof you satisfied your summons if your license was suspended for failing to:

• Comply with a summons.
• Appear on a traffic summons.
• Pay a fine.
• Complete or attend court-ordered traffic school.
• You will need to provide payment for the $60 D6 suspension reinstatement fee.

If you are out of state, send the above plus a letter of residency to:

The Bureau of Motorist Compliance

P.O. Box 5775

Tallahassee, FL 32314-5775

The Florida DMV will mail you a clearance letter. If you have any questions about your ticket, contact the Bureau of Customer Services at (850) 617-2000.

To avoid getting a suspended license due to a traffic ticket in Florida, make sure you pay your ticket before the due date.

Reinstatement After a DUI:

If you were convicted by criminal court for a DUI, you may need to take additional steps to reinstate your license, including:

• Enrolling in or completion of a DUI course and treatment, if required.
• Proving of Bodily Injury Liability Insurance.

Visit the FLHSMV website for a complete list of actions you need to take to reinstate your Florida driver’s license.

Reinstatement After Inadequate Vision:

If your FL driver’s license was revoked due to having inadequate vision, you must submit a report of an eye exam showing that you have met the minimum FL DMV vision standards to a driver license office. If your report shows you have “Inadequate/Field of Vision,” you must send your report and a “Field of Vision Chart” to:

The Bureau of Motorist Compliance

Vision Section

2900 Apalachee Parkway, MS 87

Tallahassee, FL 32399-0570

Your chart will be reviewed and the FLHSMV will advise whether or not your driver’s license will be reinstated.

Reinstatement After Accumulation of Traffic Points:

If your FL driver’s license was suspended because you accumulated too many points within a certain time period, you will also need to:

• Take the required examination.
• Submit proof of enrollment in an Advanced Driver Improvement course.

Your driving points will stay on your driver record for at least 5 years from when you committed the violation.

Note that after your license is restored, you will be subject to a Mandatory Probation Period of 1 year, during which any new violations may result in an additional suspension of your Florida driver’s license.
