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

    "Mr. Kron is wonderful!"
    Mr. Martin A. Kron is a knowledgeable, professional, effective and caring Attorney. And finding this combination is very rare. He treats you like a client, but he also treats you like family. I have gotten speeding tickets in the past and handled them myself. But this was a DWI Ticket (and a careless driving ticket) and I was petrified. I found Mr. Martin Kron, and he was wonderful. He believed what I had to say, he walked me through the process, and he even gave me his cell number and home email so that I could contact him any time I felt scared or confused. The first court date was just to enter the plea. Mr. Kron spoke with the Prosecutor prior to the second court appearance and we were hoping that based on the evidence, the Prosecutor would dismiss the tickets. No such luck. I think the Prosecutor wanted another "win" in his column, and I was going to be it. Mr. Kron presented our case and the Prosecutor presented why he had grounds to proceed to trial. But Mr. Kron professionally stood his ground and the 2 tickets were dismissed that day! I couldn't more highly recommend an attorney! Mr. Kron is wonderful!

    "Very professional and quick."
    I'm happy to say today my wife was able to finally get her new license plates for NJ after the NY suspension was completely wiped from her record. Amazing turnaround. I like their no-nonsense approach.

    "Attentive, grade A service"

    I recently retained Martin and his son Dan to handle a DUI for me as I was incredibly worried that one big mistake was going to haunt me for the rest of my life. I called multiple attorneys and though their fee was by no means the lowest it came in right around the middle of all the quotes I had received. What I felt I got from them was attentive and grade A service though. From the beginning, Dan was very reassuring and set me at ease. We discussed my case and came up with a plan for how we would proceed. Over the course of the multiple appearances that I had to make he was always there at the right time, saying the right thing, and in general acting like he had my back. In addition, whenever I called the office for updates his assistant was super helpful and whenever I spoke to him or Martin, they were super generous with their time. In the end, they obtained as good an outcome as I could have ever wished for! I am very grateful to all their hard work and the professional and friendly demeanor they maintained through this entire travail. I cannot recommend them enough!

    "I felt I could rely on Mr. Martin."
    I would like to thank Mr. Martin for his quick and professional help! My traffic problem was resolved in the best possible way. I felt I could rely on Mr. Martin with my problems and was very secure regarding the outcome. It was a pleasure to work with and communicate. Thanks a lot for your help!

    "I was out of the court in 20 minutes."
    Marty is a professional, and a very caring person. Recently on my way to daughters graduation, I entered HOV lane at GW Bridge. On his advise I pleaded guilty but the points were waived. He met me at the court and we went before the judge right away and I was out of the court in 20 minutes.

    "Martin A. Kron got me off with a warning."
    In September 2015 I was faced with a very serious New York City traffic violation. I was very upset with the predicament I had gotten myself into & reached out to Martin A. Kron for legal counsel. Subsequent to explaining what happened Martin agreed to handle my case & assured me I was in good hands - at this point I formally retained Martin. I sweated out a possible suspended license - I was humiliated, embarrassed & humbled by the sheer recklessness of my actions. I swore to myself that if I got off with just a warning I would never ever disobey the traffic laws again. Via his expert legal acumen & experience, Martin A. Kron got me off with a warning. I strongly recommend The Law Offices of Martin A. Kron to anyone facing a traffic violation. In summary, do not disobey the traffic laws - the consequences are just not worth it.

    "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.

    "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.
