What is the process to reinstate my driver license?
Your driver’s license will be returned to you at the end of your suspension period provided you pay the re issuance fee of $125 and provide proof of financial responsibility in the form of an SR22 filing with the DMV. You will also have to show proof of enrollment in an approved DUI program. If this is your 2nd or 3rd offense, the requirements will include an Ignition Interlock Device, Restricted License (if applicable) and California SR22 Insurance. For a fourth or subsequent DUI offense within a period of ten years, you may be facing felony charges. Those penalties are severe and include jail time, hefty fines, permanent loss of your license and more. If you are unsure if you need an SR22 filing, you can contact the California DMV in Sacramento at 1-916-657-7780 and speak with a DMV representative to determine if you are eligible to have your license reinstated.
