Didn’t Pay Your Reinstatement Fee? This Could Set You Back!

There are many difficult steps involved in the driver’s reinstatement process, including the possibility of attending a revocation appeal hearing or reexamination process. The last step is typically paying a license reinstatement fee to the Michigan Secretary of State. The fee, which is normally set at $125, is a processing cost for Michigan to actually and legally reinstate a license.  If you don’t pay the fine, you’ll be driving unlawfully even after undergoing a successful license appeal hearing or waiting until a your suspension period ends. If you’re caught, you may face additional license sanctions and criminal charges for not paying the reinstatement fee.

What is a Michigan Driver’s License “Reinstatement Fee?”

You probably don’t realize how valuable and necessary a Michigan driver’s license is---until you lose the privilege. How do Michigan residents lose the privilege to drive?  Most commonly, by getting arrested for drunk driving; refusing a chemical test; for medical reasons; or for accumulation of too many points.  Once a your license is taken away, through a short-term suspension or long-term revocation, it’s often very difficult to get it restored.
