FR4 Case: DUI Conviction

THIS TRANSACTION MUST BE PROCESSED BY APPOINTMENT AT THE
DRIVER LICENSE OFFICE – 904 301 BLVD W, BRADENTON
Customers will be charged a $6.25 Tax Collector service fee for information and processing, and additional transaction fees may apply. Visit taxcollector.com to schedule your appointment. Services are for Manatee County residents and businesses only.

If your license is suspended or revoked, we urge you not to drive to or from our office, as you may be ticketed or arrested by law enforcement if caught driving. (There are no exceptions or allowances in Florida Statutes [the law] that would allow a person to drive to a tax collector or driver license office on a suspended or revoked license.)

If you are convicted of an offense that requires a mandatory revocation of your driver license (like a DUI) pursuant to s. 322.26 F.S., a Financial Responsibility suspension will be applied to your driver license record (in addition to the revocation).

IMPORTANT! The information below does not address any revocations that may be on your driver license record. This information is intended to assist you in reinstating your Financial Responsibility suspension only.

This type of suspension affects your driver license and any plates/registrations in your name and remains in effect for three years from the original reinstatement date or until compliance for reinstatement as indicated below:

1. REQUIREMENTS TO REINSTATE

For drivers suspended on or after May 1, 2018, you must carry Bodily Injury Liability (BIL) and Property Damage Liability (PDL) coverage certified by an FR-44 form for three years from the original FR-44 *certificate effective date. The FR-44 form can be submitted in one of the following formats:

Electronic: Your insurance company may be able to post your FR-44 electronically to your driver record.
Paper: You may submit an original FR-44, which you would receive in person from your insurance agent.
Fax: You may have your insurance company fax the FR-44 directly to our office. The fax must be accompanied by a coversheet including the insurance company name and phone number.

Note: Copies of the FR44 form will not be accepted, nor will insurance cards or policies in this case.

Your FR-44 will be scanned and subject to verification.

*For drivers suspended prior to May 1, 2018, you must carry BIL and PDL coverage certified by an FR-44 form for three years from the original suspension date.

2. ACCEPTABLE METHODS OF PAYMENT AND ESTIMATED FEES

We will accept cash, check, debit cards, and credit cards. A $2.50 processing fee for debit cards and a 2.5% processing fee (minimum of $2.50) for credit cards will apply. Our office does not retain any portion of this fee.

Estimate* of fees for your transaction:

Service Fee...............................................................................$6.25
Driver License (replacement).............................................$25.00
Driver License (renewal).......................................................$48.00
Commercial Driver License (renewal)..............................$75.00
Late Fee......................................................................................$15.00
Endorsement Fee....................................................................$7.00 (each)

Reinstatement fee (based on previous suspensions):

$150.00 (1^st suspension)
$250.00 (2^nd suspension within 3 years from 1^st reinstatement date)
$500.00 (3^rd suspension within 3 years from 1^st reinstatement date)

*Other related reinstatement or issuance fees may apply.

3. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

If you are clearing another suspension that only requires an SR-22 (lower liability limits), you do not need to purchase both an FR-44 and an SR-22. The FR-44 would satisfy the SR-22 requirement, since it is for higher liability limits.
