Restoring a Revoked New York Driving License

by Oliver Hine on 6/13/2017

Restore Your License Online at the NY DMV

If your New York driving license has been revoked and you have served the full revocation period it may be restored using the NY DMV website. To be restored, you must apply to the DMV for a new driver license or privilege. 

The use of the online services requires that you set up your MyDMV account at the New York State DMV.

Request Approval from the Driver Improvement Unit (DIU)

You may request approval online at the DMV and the system will automatically determine if you are eligible. If you are eligible for approval the site can issue that approval immediately online.

Once approved for restoration you may be required to pay a re-application fee. 

The fee is: 

  • $25 if you apply to restore your NYS driving privilege as an out-of-state driver, and you do not intend to apply for a NYS driver license.
  • $50 if you want to apply for a NYS driver license and your license was revoked before July 6, 2009.
  • $100 if you want to apply for a NYS driver license and your license was revoked on or after July 6, 2009.

For more information see the New York DMV at: http://www.dmv.ny.gov/restore.htm.

I recommend this law firm as they are very knowledgeable and professional dealing with the NY speeding traffic ticket I had been charged with. I am very pleased with the negotiations this firm had negotiated on behalf of me. Thank you!

Clear Communications and Results

I contacted Azria & Bruffett to handle my traffic ticket after an accident in upstate New York. I found them via a random Google search and appreciated the clarity of the information presented on their website and in initial communications. Throughout the entire process they were extremely clear and helpful. My case got a little complicated for random reasons, and they went beyond their initial scope to pursue the case on my behalf. I really appreciate their work.

I want to thank the judge and my lawyer for getting my ticket dismissed. my mentally handicapped son called me and i was worried and answered my phone as many times the police have had to respond to his home. I explained it to a policeman when i was pulled over that i thought it was an emergency and hung up immediately when it wasn't. i received a ticket from the police which i plead not guilty to because i have a clean unblemished driving record and i'm 62. thankfully it was dismissed. i strongly recommend this lawyer firm it real was a mess without them.
