The Fastest Way to Get your Florida License Reinstated
As you probably know by now, being convicted of a DUI in Florida can be both embarrassing and
expensive. If you’re like most of the thousands of people we help, you simply want to do your time,
pay your fines, get your driver’s license reinstated, and just move on with your life. So what are the
steps you need to take to get your driver’s license back and in good standing? Well, the first piece of
advice I want to give you is not to overcomplicate these things. The process is relatively simple as
long as you work with an agency that specializes in these types of issues. So step number one, enroll
and complete the curriculum at a DUI school. A simple Google search for DUI schools will show the
options closest to you. You will need to attend class and graduate before moving on to the next step.
Step two, a DUI conviction in the state of Florida will require you to get a Florida FR44 policy. While
this isn’t insurance in itself, it’s proof that you’re carrying the required liability limits. The limits that
must be carried are 100, 350. That means 100,000 for a single injury to a person, $300,000 for a
single injury to multiple people, and $50,000 if you were to damage any property.
Make sure you contact a reputable insurance agency that specializes in FR44 policies to ensure your
paperwork gets filed quickly and correctly. If your paperwork is not filed correctly, you could incur
additional fines, penalties, and incur longer suspension. The agency should be able to electronically
file your FR44 certificate immediately with the Florida DMV. Step number three, if you’re required to
have an Ignition Interlock device installed, you will need to have the installation completed before your
driver’s license will be reinstated. You will also need to purchase and show proof of a Florida FR44
before the Ignition Interlock facility will perform the installation. If you do not own a vehicle, you can
get permission from the owner and have the device installed in their car. Step number 4, physically go
to the Department of Motor Vehicles with your FR44 certificate. If you were required to have an
Ignition Interlock device installed, you must also bring proof that the installation was completed by a
licensed facility. Make sure you have money available to pay any fines imposed during your
conviction. The DMV will tell you how much you owe. Step number 5, your driver’s license will be
reinstated on the spot.
While it really is that easy, there are some things you need to know. One, a Florida FR 44 will be
needed for a period of three years from your date of conviction. This does not mean the date that the
DUI happened, but rather the actual date you were formally convicted. If you do not maintain your
FR44, the insurance company will notify the state of Florida that you’re no longer carrying an FR44,
and the state will suspend your driving privileges immediately. This will add three additional years to
your FR44 requirement. So to recap, one, attend all required classroom courses. Two, obtain a Florida
FR44 policy and certificate. Three, if an ignition interlock device is needed, get it installed. Four, go to
the DMV with your FR44 certificate and bring money to pay any fines. Five, get your driver’s license
reinstated. Here at FR44 and SR22 Experts, we’ve helped tens of thousands of Floridians get their
