To reinstate your license in Louisiana, you will generally need to satisfy any requirements laid out in your suspension or revocation. This may include paying fines or completing educational programs. After fulfilling these requirements, you may need to pay a reinstatement fee. It's critical to remember that the specific steps to reinstate your license may vary depending on the cause of the suspension or revocation. Please ensure to follow the instructions detailed in the correspondence you received from the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles after your license was suspended or revoked.

If your Louisiana driver's license has been expired for over two years, you may have to retake the knowledge and skills tests before you can renew it. However, it won't require going through the entire driver's school process again. We recommend preparing for the knowledge test by reviewing the Louisiana DMV Driver's Manual, and practicing your driving skills for the road test. The ultimate decision on what tests to retake will be determined by the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicle office when you go to renew your license.
