My driver's license is canceled, suspended, and/or revoked.  How can I get my license reinstated?

To get your license back following the loss of your driving priviliges, you need to apply for a new license at a Division of Motor Vehicles office and meet the following requirements:

1.  Pass the written and vision tests.  You may need a road test as well.  A road test is required when a license has been revoked a year or more.

2.  Pay the reinstatement and license fees.

3.  Present proof of birth and identity. 

4.  Present a notarized Parent Consent form if you are under 18.  (Required when your parent or guardian will not be accompanying you to the DMV)

5.  Sometimes, you may need to take care of other problems before you are able to get your license back.  A DMV employee can tell you what you need to do to get your license back.

If you currently hold a valid Alaska license, are temporarily out of state, and discover that your license is expired, an extension letter may be mailed or faxed to extend the expiration date.  Extension requests must be made in writing and either mailed or faxed to DMV.

     Division of Motor Vehicles

If you have lost your Alaska driver license, you will need to obtain a duplicate license to replace it.  To obtain a duplicate Alaska driver license, you must apply in person at a DMV office and:

-provide two pieces of identification
-pass a vision test
-have a new picture taken
-pay a duplicate license fee

The expiration date on your duplicate license remains the same as your lost license.

Can I have the vision restriction removed from my license since I've had eye surgery and can now meet the vision requirements without corrective lenses? 

What is a provisional driver license?

Yes.  With a provisional license,

-you may NOT carry passengers under the age of 21 with the exception of siblings

-you may NOT operate a motor vehicle between the hours of 1:00 am and 5:00 am.

There are two exceptions to the restrictions on provisional licenses.  The restrictions apply unless:

1) the provisional license holder is accompanied by a person who is at least 21 years of age who is licensed to drive the type of vehicle being driven

2) the provisional license holder is driving to or from your place of employment or within the scope of your employment.  All driving must be along the most direct route.
