Reinstatement of your Colorado driver’s license depends on why it was suspended or revoked. You may need to pay outstanding traffic fines, take level II alcohol classes or meet your financial obligations with child support.
Philip Smith can help you determine the requirements necessary for successfully applying for reinstatement. If you are facing a court case, that case is separate from any Department of Motor Vehicle action. Did you know that your driving record is shared with all 50 states? Until your Colorado driver’s record is repaired, you will not be able to get a license in any other state. If your license is suspended or revoked in another state, you must contact that state to apply for reinstatement before applying for a new license in Colorado.
Your DMV driving record will reveal what has led up to the suspension or revocation. Phil will be able to determine what steps need to be taken prior to reinstatement. A probationary or “red” license will allow you to drive for limited purposes such as getting to work or school.
