What are the drivers license reinstatement requirements for a MA suspended license? Massachusetts

New Driver Checklist

MA Suspended License/Revoked License Procedures

In Massachusetts, the requirements to reinstate your drivers license vary depending on what caused you to lose your driver license. For instance, if you commit several speeding infractions within a year, your driving privileges can be suspended for a year and you'll probably have to pay a $100 reinstatement fee. Compare that to a habitual traffic offender, who faces a possible four-year license suspension and a $500 reinstatement fee.

So, to get your driver license back, you need to serve your punishment, and pay your fees; it's impossible to give a specific answer to your question without knowing the details of your case. It's possible you may even face other forms of punishment, such as being forced to attend a driver safety class or perform community service.

If you're unsure about what you must do to reinstate your license, contact the RMV or the state official overseeing your case. After you've served your punishment, you will face a hearing before your driving privileges can be reinstated.

Driving With a Suspended License/Revoked License

It may be tempting to get behind the wheel and make a quick trip to the local grocery store or a nearby fast-food restaurant. But, if you have a suspended or revoked license, that's not a smart move. If you're caught driving, you could lose your license for another year (on top of your current punishment), be hit with a major fine, and even thrown in jail.

Hardship Drivers License

If you've lost your driving privileges, you may be eligible for a hardship license, which gives you the ability to legally drive under limited conditions, such as to and from work. Contact the RMV for details to see if you're eligible for this type of license.
