Licence Reinstatement Wizard
Answer a few questions about your suspension to think through what reinstatement generally involves. This is a guided thinking tool, not legal advice.
What’s required to reinstate a suspended Ontario licence generally depends on why it was suspended in the first place — an unpaid fine, a demerit-point total, a medical review, or a court-ordered suspension can each involve different steps. This wizard walks through the general categories described in our licence reinstatement guide, based on what you enter.

How to use it
Have any suspension notice you’ve received on hand. The wizard asks about the general reason for the suspension and reflects back the general categories of step involved — such as clearing an underlying issue (an unpaid fine or a required review) and confirming whether a reinstatement fee applies — drawn from our reinstatement guide. It does not know the specific current fee amount or the status of your individual file.
What this wizard can't tell you
It cannot confirm the current reinstatement fee, the status of your specific suspension, or how long reinstatement will take in your case. Those details need to be confirmed directly with the Ministry of Transportation or ServiceOntario using the information on your suspension notice.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this wizard know my reinstatement fee?
No. Reinstatement fees can change and vary by situation, so this tool doesn't state a specific amount. Confirm the current fee directly with ServiceOntario or the Ministry of Transportation.
Does reinstatement happen automatically once a suspension period ends?
Not always. Some suspensions require you to take an active step, such as paying an outstanding fine or a reinstatement fee, before driving privileges resume. See our reinstatement guide for the general categories involved.
