How Do I Reinstate My Suspended License in NY?
If your license has been suspended in New York, you can reinstate it by completing the required steps. Reinstatement of a suspended license involves:
- Paying fines and fees.
- Attending court-mandated classes or programs.
- Submitting proof that you've met all conditions set by the court.
Depending on the type of suspension, other steps may also be necessary. Here is an overview of what you need to do to have your license reinstated in New York.
Steps for Reinstating a Suspended License in NY:
- Pay all fines and fees associated with the suspension. This can be done online or over the phone at the DMV office near you. Payment will appear on the DMV website within three business days if approved.
- Attend any mandated classes or programs (if applicable). These should have been specified when your license was suspended initially, and they must be completed before reinstatement is possible.
- Submit proof that all conditions set by the court have been met (if applicable). This could include copies of receipts for payments made or certificates from any classes attended.
- Complete any other requirements as needed (such as an alcohol education program or installation of an ignition interlock device) before being eligible for reinstatement in New York State DMV's records system.
- Check with your local DMV office before reinstating your license to verify that all paperwork has been submitted and accepted correctly; depending on what type of suspension you were under, additional requirements may apply that must be satisfied before reinstatement is possible.
- When everything is finished, submit a request for restoration of privileges form with all required documents attached, along with proof of financial responsibility through either a liability insurance card or sufficient bonds/cash deposit proof to complete the process. If approved, you'll receive notification within three business days, and your driver's license will be reinstated soon!
Requesting Approval from the New York State Driver Improvement Unit
If you live in New York, our license restoration attorneys can help you request approval through the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Driver Improvement Unit (DIU) using their online services, and the system will automatically determine if you are eligible.
How Much Does it Cost to Restore Your License?
If you are eligible for approval, the site can issue that approval immediately online. Once approved for restoration you may be required to pay a re-application fee.
The fee is:
- $25 to apply to restore your NYS driving privilege as an out-of-state driver without applying for a NYS driver's license
- $50 to apply for a NYS driver's license and your license was revoked before July 6, 2009
- $100 to apply for a NYS driver's license and your license was revoked on or after July 6, 2009

"Most impressed by their availability to respond to me."I'm glad I choose this lawyer. His professionalism and his ability to follow things up impressed me. There was always someone in the office to respond to my phone calls. Finally, they had my file up to date. I won my case, but beyond everything, I was most impressed by their availability to respond to me. Thanks!Vitalis

"I would refer him to anyone, anytime for anything."I had 3 cell phone violations within 18 months, which by law subjects me to license suspension. Mr. Kron and I deferred our case 4 times which is the maximum. When we finally decided to plead me guilty, Mr. Kron did everything within his power to reason with the judge for leniency-and he succeeded!! I was found guilty, have to pay a fine, but will be able to keep on driving which is extremely important for me to maintain my lifestyle. Most importantly, during this process, I was a nervous wreck. Mr. Kron was immediate in his responses to my inquiries----almost replying to my texts before I hit send!! I cannot thank this man enough... I would refer him to anyone, anytime for anything. He did an absolutely wonderful job for me. One final thought. You know how you read about or see about everything else that works for other people but never works for you? This is a case where this guy was an angel and delivered me the best possible outcome. I am a very lucky man today because of Mr. Kron.Brian

"It's a relief knowing they are on my side."
I am currently a client of Martin and his firm. They are a hard working firm and have been a pleasure to work with. I have spoken to several of them on the phone (sometimes on the weekend) and they have been nothing short of kind and generous. Their feedback and guidance thru emails and phone calls have been outstanding. It's a relief knowing they are on my side and doing everything they can to restore my driving privileges. Their attention to detail and enthusiasm in helping me is unlike no other firm I have dealt with. I would highly recommend them if you are in any sort of traffic violations.

"Got me a great outcome!!"Just found out that my careless driving and my 10 over speed were both dismissed! I was freaked out since I drive commercially and can't have points on my license! I am so happy that the lawyers at MAK were able to take my case and get me a great outcome!!!!! In the past I hired another traffic attorney and all he did was take my money and I still got found guilty. Martin cost a little more but he was well worth it cuz we won!Guillermo

"I will never deal with another attorney again."
I experienced a very difficult situation between the states of New York as well as New Jersey where I was potentially facing a 6-month suspension of my license. Aside from the fact that I live 6 hours from New Jersey, I was in dire need of professional expertise to ensure that my situation was handled as well as possible. I spoke with a number of attorney's and decided to hire Martin; and will never deal with another attorney again. Martin was extremely friendly, offered great advice and support and ultimately helped me to have all of the charges thrown out with my case being dropped.
As we all know, no one can promise or guarantee the same outcome. However, if you want the best chance to receive the best possible outcome, Martin Kron and his team are your only option.
