1.
To reinstate if my license is revoked for inadequate vision?
You must
submit a report of eye exam to a Florida
Driver License office and may be licensed if minimum vision
standards are met. If record states "Inadequate/Field of Vision,"
then a vision report including a "Field of Vision Chart" must be
mailed to:
Vision Section
2900 Apalachee Parkway, MS 87
Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0570
The Medical Board will review the chart,
advise the department, and the department will advise the
individual.
2.
To reinstate after my license is suspended for being
incapable of operating a motor vehicle safely?
Suspension
is for one year. You are not eligible for a hardship license but can
request a hearing for the purpose of requesting one or two more
opportunities to pass the test.
When the suspension has expired, then
the subject must pass the exams required before re-licensing.
3.
To reinstate my license
after a suspension for a violation (not DUI related) resulting in
death or personal injury?
Driver license will be suspended for 1
year. You may apply for a hardship through the
Administrative Reviews Office
(see listing "Under Suspension - Need Driver License for Work")
where you live. To reinstate for a hardship license or when time
expires, you will need to take a required examination, submit
Advanced Driver Improvement (ADI)
school enrollment, a $35.00 reinstatement fee and any applicable
license fee.
4.
To reinstate my license after a revocation as a
Habitual Traffic Offender (HTO)?
Driver license will be revoked for 5
years. After 1 year from the effective date of revocation, the
subject may request a hardship license. Contact the
Administrative Reviews Office
(see listing "Under Suspension - Need Driver License for Work")
where you live.
Advanced Driver Improvement (ADI) School
will be required unless alcohol was involved, then a Driving Under
the Influence (DUI) school will be required.
If the HTO revocation has expired, a
Florida resident must still obtain authority to restore through the
Administrative Reviews Office
(see listing "Under Suspension - Need Driver License for Work")
where you live.
5.
To reinstate after my license is
suspended for fraudulently obtaining a driver license?
License will be suspended for one year.
The applicant may petition the department for a hearing to determine
whether or not fraud has been committed. If not, then the suspension
will be removed.
If fraud is proven, then the subject may
apply for a hardship license. If approved for hardship, or if the
time is expired, a test must be taken, $35.00 reinstatement fee, and
any applicable license fees.
6.
To reinstate after my license is suspended for being delinquent
in child support?
This is an indefinite suspension of your
driver license. The individual must present an affidavit, Form #
DHSMV 73986, from the child support agency, depository or the clerk
of the court. The affidavit must be dated within 30 days of the
reinstatement to be honored. No exam is required, but a $47.50 fee
is required to reinstate the driver license. If the affidavit is
dated before the suspension date, then the suspension is deleted and
no fee is required.
Write to request Form #DHSMV 73986:
2900 Apalachee Parkway, Rm. B235 - MS 91
