50-state restoration decoder

Your license is suspended.Here's the road back, by state.

A calm, statute-pinned procedural decoder for US drivers post-suspension. State + cause + prior count returns a structured verdict: the DMV form to file, whether an IID or SR-22 applies, the waiting period, the reinstatement fee, and whether a hardship license is available where you live.

Restoration decoder

Client-side only · inputs never leave your browser

Fill in what you know about your suspension. The decoder returns a statute-pinned procedural path: which form to file, whether an IID or SR-22 is required, what the waiting period is, and whether a hardship license is available in your state.

Some state rules changed after 2023 (notably for court-debt-driven suspensions). Date-aware branching uses this if provided.

Where each state stands

Tint marks the state's overall restoration framework — descriptive, not a ranking. A strict framework isn't “bad”; an SR-22-forbidden state isn't “good.” Different rules fit different cases.

How it works

The restoration path is a defined sequence

Most cases follow the same shape. The decoder fills in which artifact each step requires in your state.

  • Identify the cause

    Pick the suspension class that matches your case — DUI, SR-22 trigger, child support, FTA/FTPay, and more.

  • Decode your state

    Your state plus cause plus prior count returns the DMV form, waiting period, and whether an IID or SR-22 applies.

  • Total the cost stack

    Reinstatement fee, IID lease, SR-22 differential, and any school or treatment — summed into one figure.

  • Verify at the source

    Every claim links to a state DMV, state legislature, or Cornell LII page. Cross-check before you file.

The context behind the verdict

The decoder gives you the procedural verdict. The pillars give you the context behind each piece of it.
