How Do I Reinstate My Suspended License in NY?

If your license has been suspended in New York, you can reinstate it by completing the required steps. Reinstatement of a suspended license involves:

  • Paying fines and fees.
  • Attending court-mandated classes or programs.
  • Submitting proof that you've met all conditions set by the court.

Depending on the type of suspension, other steps may also be necessary. Here is an overview of what you need to do to have your license reinstated in New York.

Steps for Reinstating a Suspended License in NY:

  1. Pay all fines and fees associated with the suspension. This can be done online or over the phone at the DMV office near you. Payment will appear on the DMV website within three business days if approved.
  2. Attend any mandated classes or programs (if applicable). These should have been specified when your license was suspended initially, and they must be completed before reinstatement is possible.
  3. Submit proof that all conditions set by the court have been met (if applicable). This could include copies of receipts for payments made or certificates from any classes attended.
  4. Complete any other requirements as needed (such as an alcohol education program or installation of an ignition interlock device) before being eligible for reinstatement in New York State DMV's records system.
  5. Check with your local DMV office before reinstating your license to verify that all paperwork has been submitted and accepted correctly; depending on what type of suspension you were under, additional requirements may apply that must be satisfied before reinstatement is possible.
  6. When everything is finished, submit a request for restoration of privileges form with all required documents attached, along with proof of financial responsibility through either a liability insurance card or sufficient bonds/cash deposit proof to complete the process. If approved, you'll receive notification within three business days, and your driver's license will be reinstated soon!

Requesting Approval from the New York State Driver Improvement Unit

If you live in New York, our license restoration attorneys can help you request approval through the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Driver Improvement Unit (DIU) using their online services, and the system will automatically determine if you are eligible.

How Much Does it Cost to Restore Your License?

If you are eligible for approval, the site can issue that approval immediately online. Once approved for restoration, you may be required to pay a re-application fee.

The fee is:

  • $25 to apply to restore your NYS driving privilege as an out-of-state driver without applying for a NYS driver's license
  • $50 to apply for a NYS driver's license and your license was revoked before July 6, 2009
  • $100 to apply for a NYS driver's license and your license was revoked on or after July 6, 2009

    "Hire him with confidence."
    I owe Marty a debt of gratitude for the way in which he counseled me on traffic tickets and what to do in court. I would give Marty my highest recommendation. He REALLY knows his stuff. Do hire him with confidence. While I hope I never need him again I rest a little easier knowing that I have him by my side. Thanks, Marty.

    "Reduced my son's fine considerably."
    My son and I consulted with Martin for a traffic violation that was received in the Bronx in 2016. His knowledge reduced my son's fine considerably as well as helped him shed points in an efficient manner. We would recommend him for hire.

    "Trust me, he's your guy!!"
    I had a complicated situation with 3 tickets and was in danger of losing my licence. Martin negotiated with the prosecutor, got my tickets reduced and I was able to keep my license. If you have traffic tickets, trust me, he's your guy!!

    "SAVED MY LICENSE"
    My lawyer helped save my license from a suspension. If I can't drive I can't work or feed my family. They were always on top of my case and helped me continue to drive for a living. I spoke with all three partners and each one knew about my case and helped each step of the way. Vanessa the manager was so helpful and didn't mind that I called every day.

    "He kept in touch to make sure my issue was completely resolved."
    Martin Kron was very patient, fair, and upfront during my interactions with him. I am currently out of the NY/NJ area, after a recent move. But needed someone to represent me for an issue with the DMV in NYS. He was realistic with timelines and was able to ultimately get my issue resolved before it affected my current state license. Can't thank him enough. After he resolved the issue in NYS, he kept in touch to make sure my issue was completely resolved in my new home state.

    "Very easy to reach either him or his office."
    Martin is an excellent attorney. He got the results I needed and it was very easy to reach either him or his office. Martin will be the only red light/speeding attorney that I ever use.

    "The judges in the courts we were in knew who he was and liked him."
    Martin Kron and his office did a wonderful job helping me with traffic tickets that were more than 3 years old!!! The judges in the courts we were in knew who he was and liked him and his professionalism. His associates in his office were very very nice, timely and helpful. He was always reachable and actually made the experiment fun... I was worried I would have to pay high fines because I had not done anything about these tickets for so many years, but because of Martin and his relationships with the courts, I really got great fines with no points added to my license!!! I forwarded his information to several of my friends because we finished so quickly. I would refer him again at any time.
