When a person commits certain traffic or legal offenses, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) can revoke or suspend their driver's license. This means that their license is invalid, and the driver can no longer legally operate a vehicle.
To clear a suspended registration, a driver must first check with the DMV to figure out the reason for the suspension. Then he/she must resolve the underlying problem. For example, a driver who failed to pay the registration fee can make that payment and then pay the reinstatement fee.
It is the driver's responsibility to submit proof of payment of outstanding fines or tickets to the MVC to be restored. Once you have satisfied the reason for the suspension, completed any suspension period that had been ordered, and paid the required fees, you will receive a Notice of Restoration in the mail.
