Your license is suspended, and the SR-22 must be on file before any license reinstatement fee counts. Call now and a licensed agent files your SR-22 today.
The fee is the state's charge to give your license back. Texas charges $100 before it renews or issues the license. Florida may charge up to $500 after a lapse in required insurance.
Why the SR-22 comes first
Your state will not reinstate you until it sees proof of coverage. The SR-22 is that proof. An insurance card or a copy of the policy will not count instead.
Texas lists submitting a valid SR-22 as a reinstatement requirement. Florida uses its SR-22 to meet reinstatement requirements, and it certifies bodily injury and property damage liability. In both states, the fee alone does nothing without the filing.
Reinstatement fees by state
Each state sets its own fee. The table shows license reinstatement fees confirmed on state pages.
Two fees often get mixed up. California's $14 fee clears a suspended vehicle registration, not a suspended license. Florida's fee of up to $500 applies after failing to keep required insurance.
The order of steps
Do these in order. The agent walks you through each one on the call.
- Read the suspension notice with the agent and list every requirement on it.
- Buy a policy from a company licensed in your state that files the SR-22.
- The agent confirms the filing posted with the state.
- Pay the reinstatement fee to the state agency.
- Finish any other item on the notice, such as a course or a test.
