What is a DMV Hold?

The Court notifies DMV that you have failed to appear and/or failed to pay a fine which places a hold on your driver’s license. This means you will not be able to renew your license until this has been taken care of. To release a DMV hold, you may pay in person with a MasterCard or Visa, by cash, money order, cashier’s check, Western Union or Money Grams, and the DMV hold will be released immediately. With payment online or by phone, it takes up to 48 hours to release DMV holds. If the fine is paid by personal check, the DMV hold will not be released for 21 days. Please do not mail cash. The Court only accepts U.S. Funds.
