DMV Failure to Pay/Failure to Appear License Reinstatement Service

This service may be used to reinstate a license suspended due to a failure to appear for a court appearance and/or failure to pay court fines and/or costs. These appear as an 04 suspension on the Notice of Action you received from the DMV. Please allow at least 24 hours after receiving a court compliance for your reinstatement eligibility to be updated. Please allow for fifteen (15) minutes after successfully completing a transaction for the reinstatement to take effect in the RI DMV system.

Other license suspensions may not be reinstated online. Please contact the Adjudication office at DMV.Adjudication@dmv.ri.gov to learn how to lift other suspensions

Upon completion of your license reinstatement transaction, you will be able to print a receipt and have it emailed to you. You will also be provided with a Notice of Restoration that may be printed and saved to your records.
