License Reinstatement
How do I get my license reinstated?
If your license has been suspended, it may be reinstated at the
end of your mandatory suspension period. If your license has been
revoked, you may apply for reinstatement at the end of your revocation
period. You will be required to have a reinstatement hearing, which
can be scheduled in person or by mail.
Also, for revoked licenses, you will be required to start over with the licensing process by retaking the knowledge test, obtaining a learner’s permit and then taking the road test in order to get a full license.
When eligible for reinstatement, you must pay the reinstatement
fee and clear any other stops on your record.
- To pay your reinstatement fee in person, visit a DMV Service location.
- To schedule a reinstatement hearing in person, you must visit Adjudication Services.
- To request a reinstatement hearing date by mail send your letter to:
DMV Driver Improvement Office
PO Box 90120
Washington, DC 20090

If you drive with a suspended
or revoked license, you may be jailed for up to one year, and/or pay a fine of up to $5,000.
