How much does it cost for license reinstatement?
Each state, as the grid shows below, mandates different license reinstatement fees. Most fees vary depending on the nature of the suspended license. Insurance-related suspensions, for instance, are usually higher than traffic-ticket suspensions. But again, it depends on your state, which should inform you of your exact reinstatement fee.
Getting a drivers license reinstated requires more than just paying a reinstatement fee. For exact requirements, contact your local DMV office.
