How can I get my driver’s license back?
The answer varies depending on your state and the reason why your license was suspended.
Your driver’s license can be suspended for different reasons depending upon your state. Generally, this includes:
- Several moving violations or speeding tickets
- Physical or psychological differences that prevent you from driving in a safe manner
- Driving under the influence
- Driving without motor vehicle insurance
- Driving with a suspended or revoked license (the already existing suspension may be extended if you are caught)
- Failing to appear in court or failing to pay fees
- Not paying child support
- Accumulating too many driving record points
To check your driver’s license status and requirements for reinstating your license according to your state, you can visit the official DMV website, find your state, and read the information located there.
If you lost your license due to a DUI, you could visit this website, alcohol.org, and this website, myduiattorney.org, to learn a bit more about general requirements for how to proceed with getting your license back.
What are some programs that can help me get my driver’s license back?
Once we’ve narrowed down why your license was suspended, can find out what the procedures are required in your state! Here’s a few programs you can go to for help with fulfilling these procedures so you can get your license back.
Here are some examples of state programs for getting your driver’s license back:
- Some states or local areas will have one day or weeklong amnesty periods where you can contact the office or court and have fees waived or reduced. To find out if there is one ongoing in your area or planned to occur soon, please get in contact with your local DMV office or court.
- Ohio’s Driver’s License Reinstatement Fee Debt Reduction and Amnesty Program may help if you live in the state of Ohio. Be sure to read the requirements thoroughly, since there are parts that include eligible offenses and whether you are considered indigent (enrolled in specific assistance programs).
- If you live in Washington, your local court might offer a re-licensing amnesty program. Learn more by clicking here.

I’m a 55 yr old disabled man with a fixed income, I have an emotional support dog, which protects me from disrespectful young adults. I’m in need of a “wheelchair transportation van” to and from doctors appointments, to and from stores for clothing and food, etc. Since she is a larger dog it’s hard to take her places since her main goal is to protect me. I also have physical limitations, unable to walk more than 3 feet without holding onto items for balance to include such as total knee replacement, another knee and hip which will need to be fully replaced, in the near future. Nevertheless, transportation is hard to get such as handicap taxies, and via subways without assistances. The only Blessing I’m requiring is a handicap van with a lift.
Hi Mike. Here’s our info on vans. Hopefully, something in it can help.
