Before we map your reinstatement — a few quick checks

Select any that apply. Each describes a case we can't reinstate mechanically — we'd refer you to a licensed attorney instead. None of these? Continue below.

My license is revoked AND getting it back requires petitioning a court or winning a hearing — not just serving time, retesting, and paying a fee.A revocation that reinstates mechanically (serve the period, retest, pay a fee) is something we can map. A revocation that only lifts after a contested hearing or court petition — habitual offender, multi-DUI denial, multi-year denial — is not.
Hawaii has classified me as a Habitual Traffic Offender, Habitual Violator, or persistent violator.If you're not sure whether Hawaii has classified you this way, check the language on your suspension notice for “habitual” or “persistent” violator.
There's a court or DMV hearing I need to attend and win to resolve this — not just a fine to pay or a class to take.Hearings turn on legal arguments and discretion, not the mechanical pay-and-file path our roadmap covers.

Reasons your license is on hold

Check every reason that applies. Many people have more than one hold; missing one is the most common reason a packet gets rejected.

No insurance, lapse, SR-22 or financial-responsibility filing.
Missed court date, unpaid ticket or fine, failure to appear or pay.
Too many points or accumulated violations.
DUI / DWI license action.
Revocation, contested hearing, or I'm not sure.

Are you contesting the suspension itself?

Contesting means fighting the suspension at a hearing, not satisfying its conditions. Contested matters route to an attorney.

I want to contest the suspension itself.

Is this your first DUI / DWI suspension, or have you had one before?

Repeat offenses cost more in many states. Knowing this lets us show your exact fee instead of the full schedule. Pick “Not sure” to see all tiers.

Have you received the official suspension notice?

The notice is the letter from the state describing the action. If you have it, the transaction / notice ID helps us route faster.

Is your driver's license currently expired?

Some states require you to retake written / driving / vision tests if your license has been expired long enough. If you're not sure, leave this set to 'Current.'

Did your license card expire during the suspension?

In some states, reinstating restores the *privilege* but does not renew the *card* — a separate renewal transaction (with its own fee) is required.

Any other holds you know of?

Unpaid tickets in another county, an old insurance lapse, a child-support flag — anything else.

No payment required. The roadmap is free.
