License Suspensions
Once a citation is paid in full the court will provide you a copy of Form DL-53 (Verification of Satisfaction Form). It is YOUR repsonsibility to contact the DMV.
If the compliance is not received in the Driver Records Office before the beginning date of the suspension, a $50 reinstatement fee per offense will be required by the State in order for the suspension to be withdrawn.
