Why Reinstate Your License?
There are several reasons why you may need to reinstate your license, such as the following:
- Your license was suspended or revoked due to certain traffic violations, excessive driver's license points, and/or failure to meet certain requirements (e.g., maintaining proper insurance)
- You have completed your suspension or revocation period and want to reinstate your license
- Your license was suspended due to a DUI/DWI conviction and you need to have your license reinstated before being able to legally drive again
Successfully regaining your right to have a driver's license can ease many burdens in your life, from eliminating commuting difficulties to making it easier to take care of family members and attend important appointments. If your license has been suspended, reinstatement should be a priority.

Below are three general three steps you may need to take to reinstate your license, according to the state's Bureau of Motor Vehicles (BMV):

Show Evidence of Financial Responsibility
You must prove that you can financially cover any damages related to your driving. Typically, this involves having your insurance provider send proof of insurance to the BMV (as outlined above). If this cannot happen, your provider will need to submit an SR-22 certificate on your behalf.
Handling Reinstatement Fees
You may pay your reinstatement fees, after which you can regain your full driving privileges. The amount of your fees will depend on the type of suspension. Alternatively, you can get an SR-22 endorsement from your insurance provider and maintain coverage for 180 consecutive days.
Determining which option is best will depend on the cost. Obtaining an SR-22 certificate can often increase insurance premiums, but reinstatement fees may be a prohibitive immediate expense.
Fortunately, you do not have to make this decision alone. I have helped numerous people like yourself determine how best to proceed through reinstatement. From figuring out how to initiate your reinstatement to deciding whether to seek an SR-22 endorsement, you can count on me for experience-backed counsel that serves your best interests.
