What do I do if my driver's license is suspended for failing to pay a traffic ticket?

How do I get my driver’s license back or reinstated?
If the ticket you have received was issued by the Town of Pine Ridge Police Department, you must pay the fine at Pine Ridge Municipal Court. The court will provide you a copy of Form DL-53.

South Carolina Drivers:
You must present in person at a local DMV Office or mail the blue copy of Form DL-53 to:

South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles
Driver Record
Post Office Box 1498
Blythewood South Carolina 29016-0028

If the compliance is not received in the Driver Records Office before the beginning date of the suspension, a $100.00 reinstatement fee will be required by the State in order for the suspension to be withdrawn.

 

Pine Ridge Municipal Court will not fax the form to the Department of Motor Vehicles. You are responsible for taking the form to the DMV.

Out of State Drivers:
You must present or mail the blue copy of Form DL-53 along with any applicable reinstatement fees to the state in which you are a licensed driver. Any questions you may have in reference to reinstatement fees or driver license suspension must be directed to your home state
