Revocation: Fleeing & Attempting to Elude

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.

Your driving privilege has been revoked because you were cited for fleeing and/or attempting to elude law enforcement (felony offense). The revocation is for a period not less than 1 year and not more than 5 years, unless the court orders otherwise.

You have two options when you have this revocation on your record:

Option 1: WAIT OUT THE REVOCATION PERIOD

Once the expiration date has passed, you would need to pay the reinstatement fee. See the ACCEPTABLE METHODS OF PAYMENT AND ESTIMATED FEES below for more details.

Option 2: APPLY TO BAR FOR EARLY REINSTATEMENT

If you do not want to wait out the revocation period, you can contact the Bureau of Administrative Review (BAR) to find out if you are eligible for a hardship license and request a hearing. If BAR approves your application for a hardship license you will be issued a driver license with a specific restriction and it will be mailed from Central Issuance in Tallahassee. Our office cannot advise you whether or not you are eligible for a hardship license.

If BAR refers you to our office after they have approved your application for a hardship license, our office can issue the license, provided BAR has indicated on your record that you have been authorized and the specific restriction that must be added. In this case, you would be required to pay the reinstatement fee when our office issues the license. See the ACCEPTABLE METHODS OF PAYMENT AND ESTIMATED FEES below for more details.

ACCEPTABLE METHODS OF PAYMENT AND ESTIMATED FEES

We 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.
