If your Massachusetts License or right to drive in Massachusetts has been suspended or revoked, you will likely have to pay a reinstatement fee prior to getting your license back. You can pay this fee at any Mass. RMV Branch. The amount of the Mass. License Reinstatement Fee will depend on the license suspension reason. The Registry does not waive reinstatement fees and the Board of Appeal will not order them to do so. Unless and until you pay the applicable reinstatement fee, the Registry will not reinstate your license or right to operate in Massachusetts, even if the Board of Appeal has authorized the issuance of a hardship license. The Registry does not accept credit card payments for reinstatement fees; they must be paid by cash or check. Reinstatement fees apply even if you are licensed in another state and you right to operate in Massachusetts has been suspended or revoked. If you have any questions regarding reinstatement fees, you can contact the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles Suspension Section at 617-351-7200.
