Driver's License Restoration

MILS staff may assist clients in seeking the restoration of driving privileges at the administrative level and may provide advice about other issues concerning restrictions on driving privileges.

If your driver’s license was suspended or revoked, MILS might be able to help.

Step 1 - Get a copy of your driving record.

You can get a copy of your driving record online, by mail, or at your local Secretary of State (SOS) office.
There is a $12 fee to purchase a copy of your driving record.
Make sure to ask for a certified complete record.

Step 2 - Review your driving record.

Look at everything listed below “End of Record History” to see all current barriers to restoring your license.
Take note of whether suspensions are definite or indefinite.
- Definite suspensions include a specific time period during which your license is suspended. Once the period is over, you can go to your local SOS office to restore your license.
- Indefinite suspensions do not have a predetermined end date. In some cases, you may be able to have your license restored.

Step 3 - Pay all the fines and fees you owe.

- You will also have to pay a $125 reinstatement fee.

Step 4 - Request a hearing if necessary. MILS can help with this. For more information.
