Driver License Restoration

​​​​​​​​​​​A driver who has satisfied the requirements of a suspension or revocation must reapply for their license and pay the associated fees, required by law, outlined in the chart below.

How to Make a Payment​

Restoration and service fees are separate from the cost of getting a new, renewal or duplicate driver license. ​

Customers are encouraged to confirm amounts due prior to submitting payment via MoneyGram. Please call (919) 707-4275 to confirm your amount.​
