How long do I have to be seizure free before I can drive again?

If I am suspended for being medically unqualified to drive, how do I re-apply?

You can contact the Medical Review Unit and the appropriate forms will be sent to you. You will be contacted by mail on the outcome of the review.

Do I need to pay a restoration fee?

If you are suspended only for being Medically Unqualified, you will not have to pay a restoration fee; however, if you have a suspension for any other reason, you will be required to pay the $100.00 restoration fee.

If I move out of state, do I have to continue to interval report?
