BMV > Suspension And Reinstatement Suspension And Reinstatement

Indiana law gives courts the authority to order the Bureau of Motor Vehicles to suspend a motorist’s driver license when he or she is found to have committed certain traffic violations. In most of these instances, the motorist may apply to have his or her driver's license reinstated.

By establishing an online myBMV account you gain access to your personal records and a number of services, including the ability to print your driver record, pay reinstatement fees online, and update your address and insurance information.

Driving Records And Points

Indiana law assesses a point value for each conviction of a moving violation. Point values for offenses range from two to eight points, depending on the violation. Points stay active on an individual’s driving record for two years from the conviction date of the citation. Now you can print your driving record by establishing an online myBMV account.

Proof Of Insurance

Indiana motorists are often required to show proof of insurance to the BMV through their insurance carrier after being involved in accidents or traffic violations.

Driver Safety Program

The BMV's driver safety program includes defensive driving curriculum that provides options for classroom instruction, or home study available online, in a workbook, or by video.

Common Suspension And Reinstatement Forms

Indiana motorists involved in accidents or who have received citations for traffic offenses may be required to submit one or more forms to the BMV.

Common Traffic Violations

Driving a vehicle without valid liability insurance is against the law. A motorist who operates a vehicle without an automobile liability insurance policy is subject to a 90-day driver license suspension or a one-year suspension if it is a repeat violation within a three-year period.

Failing to respond to a traffic citation or failing to pay for tickets after a judgment has been entered will lead to the suspension of a motorist’s driving privileges.

Indiana’s Habitual Traffic Violator law provides serious penalties for persons who have committed repeat traffic offenses over a ten year period.
