Driver's License Reinstatement Program Eligibility

Applicants must meet the following criteria to qualify for the Driver's License Reinstatement Program (LRP):

• If you do not have any unpaid traffic cases in Marion County, Iowa you will NOT be eligible for our LRP. You must contact the county where the traffic case(s) occurred.
   
• If you owe a civil penalty to the Iowa Department of Transportation (DOT) that civil penalty must be PAID IN FULL before you would be eligible for this program. To determine if you owe a civil penalty please contact the DOT at 1-800-532-1121.
   
• If all you are seeking is a Temporary Restricted License (TRL) commonly known as a “work permit” you need to contact the DOT at 1-800-532-1121.
   
• You will not qualify for the LRP unless at least one traffic case is 30 days or more from the sentencing (disposition) date. This does not include dismissed traffic case(s). Applying early will result in a denial into the program and delay the processing of your next application.
   
• You will not qualify for LRP if your license is suspended due to delinquent Child Support.
   
• Any DOT Civil and/or Small Claims judgments, as a result of an auto accident, must be satisfied before being accepted into LRP.
   
• If any “Out of State” fines are holding up your driver’s license, they cannot be added to the License Reinstatement Program plan.
   
• Any delinquent fine(s) previously converted to community service must be converted back to a fine (by a Judge) before qualifying for LRP.
   
• The applicant will be REQUIRED to obtain and maintain financial liability coverage (Automobile Insurance). If you do not own a vehicle you will be required to purchase and maintain a Non-Owner’s Insurance Policy. Proof of Insurance must be presented at the time of acceptance into LRP.
   
• The applicant may be required to make a down payment at the time of admittance into LRP.
   
• If approved for the LRP you must make an appointment to set up the payment plan. Plans will be conducted over the phone and through email. We are no longer performing payment plans in person in our office.
   
• A valid email address is required.
   
• The processing time for acceptance or rejection into the Marion County Attorney’s Office License Reinstatement Program may take up to four (4) weeks. Once a decision has been made, we will notify you either by U.S. mail or email at the email you provided us on your application.
