How Can I Get My License Reinstated?

If you were notified by the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) that your license was suspended due to unpaid citation(s), or that you have a pending suspension for unpaid citations(s), you will either need to pay in full, or set up a payment plan on that citation(s). In order to either reinstate your license or stop a pending suspension, you will need to obtain a “clearance” from the court.

How Do I Set Up or Make a Payment On A Payment Plan?

If the court ordered you to pay fines/fees, they are due in full within 30 days from sentencing. If you are unable to pay the balance in full within 30 days from sentencing, the court may allow you to set up a payment plan.

There is a fee for setting up a payment plan. A one-time fee of $50.00, will be automatically assessed to the case without further notice to the debtor.

The Court will set up and monitor your payment plan; working with you to establish a monthly payment, which may vary depending on the balance owed. A payment agreement will need to be filled out with the court to set up a payment plan that works best for you. The court does not send monthly billing statements, or reminders. It is your responsibility to make sure the payments are received as agreed.

Your payment plan may be set up by either visiting our Court in person, or over the phone.

If making a payment online, a payment plan must be set up in order to pay less than the balance owed.

There are several ways to make a payment on your payment plan; online, by mail, by phone, or in person.
