If your Florida driver's license was suspended due to a DUI or DWI conviction, reinstating it requires filing an FR-44 certificate with the DHSMV. MyFloridaFR44 (License #L091747) files your FR-44 electronically the same day you purchase your policy.
The DUI Reinstatement Checklist
- ✓ Complete all DUI school requirements
- ✓ Complete any court-ordered community service
- ✓ Pay all fines and court costs
- ✓ Pay DHSMV reinstatement fee ($45-$115)
- ✓ File FR-44 insurance certificate with DHSMV (we do this same-day)
- ✓ Install ignition interlock device if required
The FR-44 Requirement
You cannot reinstate your Florida license without an FR-44 certificate on file with DHSMV. The certificate must come from a licensed Florida insurance carrier — it proves you carry $100,000/$300,000 bodily injury and $50,000 property damage liability coverage. We file this electronically within hours of your policy purchase.
How Long Will You Need FR-44?
Florida requires FR-44 for 3 years from your license reinstatement date — not your conviction date. If your coverage lapses at any point, the clock may restart and your license will be suspended again. We send automatic renewal reminders to all clients.
