Reapplying for your driver's licence after suspension

At the end of a suspension, you can reapply for your driver's licence at any ICBC driver licensing office.

Here's the process:

  1. Apply for a new driver's licence at driver licensing office. Be sure to bring proper identification with you. See identification requirements.
  2. Pay the $31 short-term driver's licence fee and a $100 reinstatement fee.
  3. If required, complete a vision and driving test or fulfil other requirements set by the Superintendent of Motor Vehicles.

Your new licence will expire in two years, not the usual five years.

Paying fines and debts

Any outstanding fines or debts you owe to the Court, the Government or ICBC must be satisfied before you can obtain a new driver's licence.
